This former quarry is surprisingly deep and contains a wrecked barge, which makes it popular with spiny lobsters and scuba divers interested in having them for dinner.

There is also an upright VW van nearby which has been the site of literally thousands of gag underwater photographs of scuba drivers "driving" the van.
