neither have lines running through them AIRC

No lines to them but if you want to find the shallow tunnel (24m) you just need to get to the little peninsular adjacent to the entry/exit platform, there are some huts and garages at the foot of this. If you make your way round the peninsular with the wall on your left at about 23-24m you will eventually pass the tunnel. Upon exiting you will be just slightly above the garages you went to originally.

The 55m tunnel is also fairly simple to find assuming you can make your way to the ladder top at 40m... From here descend to the 50m narcosis puzzle (white sign with pictures on it). Once at the puzzle you need to fin along the cliff face descending slightly to 55m, keeping the wall on your left as you go. Follow the wall round for approximately 10m or so. The entrance is set slightly back in to the cliff/ledge. This tunnel is about 15m in length has a slight dog leg and has a ridge in the middle so you can't see the other side. It is easily wide enough for a diver carrying full tec kit including stages.
