Tires & Cars
Two sites in one: a small reef of truck tyres from 18 m, and sunken cars and a concrete mixer that shelter ghost pipefish and flamboyant cuttlefish.
This is really two sites in one. Tires is a lovely little reef made of truck tyres tied together on a sandy slope, starting at 18 metres. Look for ghost and banded pipefish, nudibranchs (including “Shaun the Sheep”) and seahorses.
Cars has both a shallow and a deep area, and both are full of life. The shallows hold sunken mooring lines and concrete blocks, while deeper down you will find old car wrecks and a concrete mixer. These are home to ghost pipefish, nudibranchs, stargazers, tiny frogfish, lionfish and flamboyant cuttlefish.
