Amphitheatre
A ten minute drive from Marine Divers to one of the areas most popular dive sites the "Amphitheatre". The name was created due to the rock formations creating a "replica" of an Amphitheatre!

Champagne Rock
Entering and exiting from the Pistol Bay area, we head out to a lovely swim through we have named, "Champagne Rock". This swim through is like diving through a large open fireplace. With a wide opening, we swim over the layers of sedimentary rock that narrows slightly to the rear creating a chimney for us to pop out of. The roof of the swim through is very porous allowing the divers expelled air to trickle though to create this pleasant effect of Champagne Bubbles.
