About This Dive Spot

This site has conditions that change with the tide. Diving at high tide is strongly discouraged because when the tide turns the outflow can pull divers away from shore toward a storm surge barrier. Strong currents support an especially abundant and species-rich mix of underwater flora and fauna, with dead man’s thumb being mentioned as particularly common here.
