Green Island is a boat dive on a rugged Mercury Islands outcrop.
Green Island is a boat dive on a rugged Mercury Islands outcrop.
Green Island is a boat-only Mercury Islands dive built around a rugged boulder outcrop with cracks, crevasses and rocks that break the surface. Small weed patches and persistent water movement make it a structure-heavy dive for confident boat divers. Plan the approach around sea state, keep a close eye on the exposed rocks, and treat the site as more challenging than a sheltered bay.

Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep clear of surfaced rocks, brief the boat pickup and plan for changing sea state.
Access Restrictions
No shore entry; exposed rocks and moving water make careful boat handling essential.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Rocky terrain with cracks and crevasses to explore; water movement can make the dive more challenging.
Freediving
Only for very confident freedivers in settled conditions; the exposed rock and moving water make it a poor casual freedive choice.
Snorkeling
Only in very calm sea state and close to the calmest edges; this is better treated as a scuba boat site than a casual snorkel stop.
