    Gorilla Chop is a popular shore dive, perfect for newer divers or those looking for an easy entry. The maximum depth of 10m means plenty of bottom time exploring the sandy patches and small coral bommies. We often spot juvenile reef fish, nudibranchs, and sometimes sea snakes here. It’s a relaxed spot for a couple of easy dives.
