The tunnels are created by large cracks in the rock structure and are
large enough for divers to pass through in single file. The deepest
tunnel entrance is at 30 metres and slowly ascends to 26 metres. First you exit into a large area between tunnels and wait for all
divers in the group before entering tunnel 2.
Tunnel 2 provides a good test of buoyancy as there is a dog leg in
the tunnel requiring divers to ascend slightly to maintain forward
motion. Tunnel 2 exits at 22 metres where our dive guide will repeat the
procedure from tunnel 3.
Tunnel 1 is a relatively short 5 metres in length exiting at right
angles into the blue water on the left of the tunnels at approx 18
metres.
The rest of the dive is carried out on the top of the reef where
numerous cracks and crevices are the perfect hiding place for a wide
range of marine species. Safety stops are carried out at the anchor line
or back of the boat before exiting .
