The Dive:
Amphibians Diving Club placed this beautiful statue found in a small natural cavern at a depth of 18 metres. As you swim out from the entry point you come to a drop and you swim down and go to the right. In the corner of the drop off wall you will note a small cavern where the statute of the Madonna is located. You can continue the dive swimming in a westerly direction staying in a depth of 15 metres which will lead you to a large swim-through going all the way through the headland which can be negotiated by divers. Grouper can be seen in the area as well as the occasional octopus.
