Babbacombe - Well worth a dive!

Description:

Babbacombe is best dived a couple of hours either side of high tide and you can explore the kelp forests to left of the beach or the rocky outcrops on the right. The bay is famous for its large abundance of Cuttle fish and marine life. Wayne runs a brilliant cafe on the front which does great bacon and sausage butties and hot and cold drinks. Toilet facilities are also available here.

Notes:

What a nice relaxed dive, and the first time I've seen cuttle fish in the UK. dSMB required due to the small speed boats that sometimes come into the bay.
