Amphitheatre Bay

3D Model

Located next to the Church Bay dive site at Coral Bay, the beautiful underwater landscape of Amphitheatre takes its name from its natural rock formation that resembles an amphitheatre, cut out by the undulating sea currents of two thousand years.

With a mostly flat, sandy surface, the site is perfect for beginners – and even snorkelers - and provides interest with a topography of holes, arches and overhangs.

Notable features include the valley walls where huge, colourful sea snails dwell, and a second amphitheatre with a ‘skylight’ created by a vertical opening.

Starting with the groups of squid that are sometimes spotted inside the large sandy patch of the bay at the beginning of the dive site, divers will also see bream, cuttlefish, flounders, grouper, moray eels, octopi, trumpet fish, wrasse and the occasional sighing of a turtle.
