Anchor Bay · Popeye Village
A small bay below the Popeye Village film set, with rocky reef, a large underwater anchor and cave features. Local centres use parts of the bay for training and guided dives. Discuss the appropriate area and current access with your centre; cave sections require a separate assessment of skills and conditions.
These pages help you choose places to discuss with a qualified dive centre. They are not dive plans or underwater navigation. Suitability and access depend on training, recent experience and conditions.
Site location
This is the bay reference point shown on PADI’s Divewise-contributed guide. Its map and descriptive text use slightly different points within the bay. Neither is a confirmed shore entrance or meeting point; arrange access directly with your centre.
