The hole also homes some moray eels that lay and wait for some unsuspecting prey. At the exit for the dive there is an amazing underwater archway one can get excellent photographs of buddies swimming through. |

Visibility is usually 20-30m, with slipper lobsters and moray eels hiding amongst crevices, nooks and crannies. The dive then profiles up, until the point of the wall, where you follow the bottom which is a mixture of sand, shingle and turtle grass, hiding many species of marine life, from octopus, crabs, seaworms, stargazers and our residential ray (which can also be seen swimming along the wall/drop off.) Small pieces of amphora also lie amongst the turtle grass in the calm, clear, shallow waters of the bay. Octopus Point is an excellent dive for photographic enthusiasts, due to such good visibility and varied mixture of marine life. |

All tunnels have plenty of soft corals and sponges so a dive light is recommended to appreciate the interesting colors within. Following the slope back to the anchor line to finish this great dive. |
