Anchor Bay dive site features a very large anchor and a long heavy anchor chain attached to it. The anchor is located on the north side of the bay, near the far end of the concrete jetty, around 8 m deep. The chain runs from the anchor towards the innermost end of the bay for several metres. The anchor is about 3 m in length, big enough for a diver to swim under it, and covered with marine growth. The anchor chain is covered in sand and marine growth in places, but is still visible.

Divers often visit Anchor Bay’s reef and the cave, sometimes called Scorpion Cave, on the same dive, ending the dive in the shallow waters of training area protected by the jetty.

★★☆☆☆ If you're lucky there might be nice sea life, but otherwise the reef & boulders aren't that interesting.
