Sandy Cove

Sandy Cove, look, it's not going to blow your mind with massive pelagics or sprawling coral. We’ll be upfront about that. But what it *is*, and what we really appreciate, is a perfect little training ground. The sand bottom, peaking at about 10 metres, feels very safe. We love bringing new divers here, or just doing a gear check, because you can actually focus on buoyancy without a current dragging you into the deep. It's tucked away, a real sheltered spot, and the big granite boulders that hug the cove make for some fun, shallow swim-throughs. Keep an eye out in those nooks and crannies, there’s a surprising amount of invertebrate life clinging to the rock. You might even spot a shy school of small fish darting past. Visibility averages about 6 metres, which is often enough to feel like you’ve got space without being overwhelming. If you need a gentle re-entry into diving, or just want to tinker with new camera settings, this is your spot.
