to almost forty metres. This rises gradually as you head towards the harbour.

Gurraig Sound
This is an enjoyable drift dive. Drop in at either
end depending on the direction of the tide. You can drift along the stoney
bottom (15-20m) at a fair old rate. If you keep into the wall (north side),
you can avoid most of the current.

East of Grey Rock
Just east of the point 100 metres east of Grey
Rock, there is a lovely area for mid range diving. Here the shore drops
vertically to 27/28 metres. There?s usually lots to see at various levels
on the wall.

Grey Rock.
You can safely anchor or tie the boat at Grey
Rock. There is 4/5 metres of water here. If you head south for about 100
metres, the bottom suddenly drops off almost vertically to about 38 metres.
The wall here has an abundance of life including conger, lobster, crabs
etc. This is also a great place for those interested in smaller species,
such as nudibranches and various types of coral. The further west you go
the deeper this drop-off gets, to a maximum of 50 metres.
