Safety Notes
Strong current, cold water, and tide-sensitive entry are the main concerns. Treat it as an experienced-diver site and plan the walk and exit carefully.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for experienced cold-water scuba divers who can plan around tide, current, and a sometimes awkward dike entry. Drift exits toward nearby sites are possible when conditions line up.
Freediving
Not a relaxed freedive target. Current, cold water, and the tidal entry make it a poor fit for casual breath-hold sessions.
Snorkeling
Not a good snorkel site. The interesting habitat sits beyond the easy surface area, and the current makes casual snorkeling poor.
