Time your dive for slack water to minimise surge inside the cavern, as a swell can make the entrance tricky and stir up visibility. Bring a torch even if the cavern looks well-lit from outside, as the sponge gardens and resting wobbegongs in the darker sections are worth the extra effort.
The site is accessible via boat, typically from charter services operating out of Huskisson. The most common departure point is the Woollamia Boat Ramp. The site should only be dived in calm conditions with little to no swell.
