The depth here pushes toward 45 metres, so plan your gas and no-deco limits before entering the water rather than making decisions at depth. Current and surge can strengthen with little warning near the cave sections, so stay close to your buddy and keep entanglement hazards in mind around any artificial reef material.
The site is located about 10 metres from the coast.
