Ghost Bay
Amed's main muck site, next to the harbour: a sandy slope with artificial structures, ropes and debris that shelter ghost pipefish, scorpionfish, stonefish, frogfish, octopus and boxer shrimps. Deeper, at around 25 m, a sunken fast boat attracts schools of five-lined snapper. Little current and an easy shore entry; especially rewarding at dusk and at night.
