Geldkis is a cold Atlantic dive site offering boulders that have created a small chimney.

Name divesite: Geldkis
Depth: 8-22m (26-72ft)
Visibility: 3-10m (9-32ft)
Accessibility: Shore
Time to visit: All year around, warmest in summer (nov-feb)
Specifications: Cave, This is a cave or large cavern dive, specialty not always required. Current, Be prepared to handle the current, plan this dive well. Shore, Diving here is accessible from the shore.

Geldkis which translates in English to Money Box or Box of Treasure is located opposite the hotel on Victoria Road. From there you can follow a narrow and short walk that leads to the sheltered beach of Sandy Cove. It is a quiet area because most divers don't feel like swimming the four hundred meters out towards the large rock. The surge and current can be strong and this should only be done by experienced and fit divers. The outer side of the farthest boulder hosts some anemones, nudibranches and many small critters that live in the rock's cracks and holes. Octopus, crayfish, cuttlefish and small rays are often seen in this cold Atlantic dive site. There also is a kind of small chimney in between boulders starting at fifteen meters deep up towards the surface. Diving here is excellent and can be for fit divers only.
