The on-site facilities are solid for a reservoir dive, with air fills, showers, changing rooms, and parking all available, so you can run multiple dives in a single visit without heading back to town. Night dives on the wall are a practical option given the infrastructure, so a torch and a surface marker buoy are worth packing.
