Safety & Access At Jackfish Alley
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Overhead environmentStrong current
Safety Notes
Treat both caves as overhead environments, keep a tight buoyancy profile in the alley, and respect the drift line because the current is part of the dive.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only and drift mandatory; the cave sections are best left to divers comfortable with overhead environments and group control.
Legal Notes
Stay on the planned drift route, avoid touching the cave walls or ceiling, and use the guide’s timing for entry and pickup.
