Hi All. My family are heading to Anaura Bay and my wife and I are keen to do a little scuba diving while we are up there. Is there anywhere better than others? Like around the island and anything to be aware of like dangers and places to go and not go?

I’ve only free dived there but you should have some fun around the island with tanks

It’s pretty shallow out to the island at low tide but not sure if it’s shallow enough to walk all the way, certainly easy enough to snorkel over. I’d go the far end of the island probably for best results but you’ll get crays anywhere around the island. I’m not going down any further than 10ft
