Comments and Feedback
We originally were going to try a clean up at Ravenspoint, however when we got there we realised that dive site was undivable due to the strong winds. However we had a really great dive at Newry Beach, lots of sea life (we saw 5 dog fish, lots of crabs and lobsters). Would recommend this site however you do need to tow an SMB due to the boat traffic
