Description

Sheltered cove with not all that much to see, but beautiful nonetheless. At the wall on the right side of the cove, around the point, the depth drops off in stages, following shelves. If you look carefully enough, you'll fond

Depth Profile:
Gradual slope from 0 to 40 feet in the cove, and then steps going down to 60 feet plus once you round the point.

Facilities:
None. Bring your own toilet paper, and use the woods across the road for washroom facilities.

Comments:
A nice dive, but quite the drive getting there. The highway and road is full of sharp turns and hills that will challenge any driver.

Rating: *** (One star - poor, 5 stars - excellent)
