Description:

Turtle Bay lies south of Amphoras. From the top ledge in 6 m, the reef drops away with an incline of 30° to the drop off in around 25 m. From here a wall drops down vertically to 50 m. Take your time in the slope area around 20 to 25 m exploring the coral towers, pinnacles and gorgonian fans. The uw landscape is bizarre and colourful. A quiet, uncrowded site with plentiful coral growth. The site is also ideal for snorkelling.
