    Temple offers a straightforward dive, popular with training groups and those getting back in the water. Twin pinnacles rise from the seabed at 20m, reaching close to the surface, creating swim-throughs and overhangs. You’ll typically spot lionfish, moray eels, and some busy clownfish. It's an easy, sheltered spot for a relaxed dive.
