Nursery Cove & The Labyrinth

Nursery Cove is a proper chill-out dive, especially if the wind’s up elsewhere. We love dropping in here for a gentle potter around the rocky edges, keeping an eye out for nudibranchs – they’re often tucked into the nooks. It’s shallow, maxing out around 17 metres at the sandy entrance, which means plenty of light for spotting the little stuff. Our favourite part is venturing around the southern point into The Labyrinth. You’ll find a series of tight swim-throughs there, twisting and turning with shafts of light breaking through the water above. It’s not a huge adrenaline rush, but the rock formations are impressive, and you often stumble across big schools of wrasse milling about inside. We’ve had some good luck spotting the resident green turtle here too, just cruising over the sand patches. Visibility averages around 14 metres, which is usually plenty to enjoy the intricate rock walls and the chance of a turtle encounter.
