Eelskins

Eelskins is one of those sites that just feels right, a genuinely calming dive even on a day with a bit of a swell. It’s a shallow reef, topping out around 19 metres, but don't let that fool you into thinking it's sparse. We consistently find it bursting with activity. The trick here is often patience, letting the site unfold. We love dropping in and drifting along the sandy channels, often finding ourselves surrounded by clouds of fusiliers, so thick they almost obscure the sun. Keep an eye out for patrolling Silver-cheeked Toadfish, they're everywhere, and we’ve even spotted Oceanic Manta Rays cruising by on occasion. The soft coral gardens are vibrant, a real spectacle of green and purple, and the nudibranchs are always a treat – look closely among the stalks. For photographers, the light here is incredible, especially mid-morning, filtering through the water and illuminating every little blenny poking its head out. It’s a site that rewards a slow pace, great for divers who appreciate the smaller details alongside the potential for big pelagic encounters.
