Safety Notes
Treat the boat transfer as part of the dive day and stay conservative if wind or chop picks up. The site is easiest on calm weather with an unhurried plan.
Access Restrictions
Reach the island by boat from the mainland parking area, then use the sheltered shoreline on calm days. The approach is simple, but it is still weather dependent.
Legal Notes
Follow the boat operator's access and safety rules and respect any local conservation limits around the island.
