About Nancy's Cup of Tea

This dive site is also sometimes known as the magic round-about due to the ability to descend while circling the rock consists of a large pinnacle which descends from a depth of 12 meters at the top of the reef to it's base at a depth of around 32 meters. Part of the pinnacle is attacked to a wall structure which creates a kind of cave where you can see some beautiful lighting as the sunlight filters through the cracks and holes in the top of the rock, the wall is also covered in a variety of corals and other interesting life including the illusive black coral and colourful anemones. This area is rich in marine life and you are bound to come across some Nassau groupers, squirrel fish, big eyes and even some reef sharks.

Dive Site Hazards

  • Unstable Visual Ascents — Relying on wall visuals can destabilise ascents.

  • Gradual Depth Creep — Lack of visual bottom reference can cause unnoticed descent.

  • Unsignalled Downcurrents — Downcurrents can form without visible indicators.

  • Hidden Depth Variations — Complex reef topography can conceal depth changes, leading to unintended profile variations.

  • Distraction from Marine Activity — High fish activity can distract divers and delay depth or gas awareness.

  • Rapid Surge Direction Changes — Surge near reef structures can reverse direction quickly, pushing divers sideways into unexpected areas.

  • Bubble Trapping Under Overhangs — Rock overhangs can trap exhaled bubbles, reducing visibility and causing disorientation.

  • Reflected Surge Patterns — Surge reflecting off rock faces can create irregular and unpredictable water movement.

  • Current Funnel Effect — Narrow gaps between rocks can accelerate water flow unexpectedly.
