FishPot - Shore Dive

FishPot is one of our go-to chill dives on the West Coast, especially when we want to just roll out of bed and into the water. It’s a shallow affair, maxing out at around 9m, so it’s perfect for a long, relaxed bottom time. The real charm here lies in the sheer number of small, colourful reef fish that flit between the coral ridges. We’ve spent whole dives just watching butterfish and dusky damselfish dart around, occasionally spotting a shy Atlantic shrimp goby peeking out from its burrow. Visibility typically hovers around 10m, which is plenty for this kind of intimate exploration. It’s also a fantastic site for newer divers or those getting back into it after a break; the conditions are usually calm, and there’s no pressure to go deep. Look closely in the nooks and crannies for the tiny blennies – we’ve seen spotcheek and goldline blennies here on multiple occasions. It’s a gentle, unassuming dive that always leaves us feeling refreshed.
