Safety Notes

Watch buoyancy around the overhang and caverns, keep surface awareness on a cape exposed to wind, and avoid informal shoreline entry where the ground is rough.

Access Restrictions

Shore access is rugged and shaped by the old military terrain; local guidance is the cleanest way to time an entry.

Legal Notes

Respect public-path limits, any local harbor rules, and any restrictions tied to the old military area or coastal access.

Scuba Diving

A scenic wall dive with a strong vertical feel, a clear overhang, and plenty of rock structure for buoyancy practice.

Not a freedive-first site; only the shallow fringe makes sense for careful breath-hold exploration on very calm days.
