    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cape No.6 offers a straightforward dive to 17m, making it ideal for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed time. You'll find plenty of smaller reef fish here, along with the occasional nudibranch if you look closely. It’s a good spot to get comfortable in the water or for a final, easy dive of the day. Visibility is generally solid, but we’d suggest going early to avoid any afternoon chop.
