Backyard
Rocky training site best reached by boat from Amchit.
Local operator required
A local operator is the practical way to handle Backyard access and boat logistics.
A training-focused Amchit site with a rocky profile and shore access possible, but boat usually makes the approach simpler and more efficient.
About Backyard
Backyard is a rocky training site off the Amchit coast that suits course work and repeatable practice dives. The profile starts shallower and rolls into a longer rocky slope, so it feels more like a working training ground than a soft reef. Shore access is possible, but boat access is usually the cleaner plan, and local conditions should be checked before committing to a long swim.
