A deep speciality or equivalent logged experience is required alongside your open water certification, so confirm your qualification meets the site's entry standard before travelling. Torches are essential given the 2 to 5 metre visibility, and a surface marker buoy is worth rigging before descent so other divers can track your ascent.
