tubs ans co

Tubs and Co. is one of those spots that really sticks with you. Drop down into the dark, and you're immediately in a maze of tunnels and caves. We love how the light plays, or doesn't, here – it’s a place where your torch is your best friend, illuminating walls draped with gorgonians and soft corals that glow under the beam. Drifting through, we’ve spotted porcelain lobsters tucked into crevices, their colours popping, and had blue lobsters scuttling away from our lights. The sheer number of cleaner shrimp and various crabs hiding in every nook is something else. You'll want to take it slow, really peer into the shadows. We’ve seen jacks and barracudas hanging out just at the cave mouths, silhouetted against the brighter open water. The visibility here, often 40 metres, makes those transitions from dark to light even more dramatic. For divers with solid buoyancy and a love for the smaller, more secretive creatures, this site is a real treat. It’s a proper cave dive feel, without being overly technical, perfect for a relaxed exploration down to 22 metres.
