Gas bay is an exceptional tube going both left and right, and very shallow. The name "gas" comes from gas chambers, cause you can go in, but might not come out unscathed. When the tide starts to change, sand flushes onto the reef and makes it a bit messy, but it clears up when the tide settles
Atmosphere
sometimes can be intense
