Greenends Gully

Notes: Enter over rocks at the entrance of the gully. After swimming over boulders, there is a short kelp field. Beyond this the gully overhangs steeply, making lots of dark crevices for lobsters and occasionally octopus. Staying on the left will eventually bring you to the mouth of the gully, where you can follow the rocks left or right out into the channel. The current often picks up at this stage, but - no longer under overhangs, it is brighter and clearer out of the narrow gully. 10-12 metres at the gully entrance, it can be quite tricky to find your way back in.
