The topography consists of a reef top that transitions into a wall, with depths ranging from 12 to 45 metres and an average depth of 25 metres. Visibility typically spans 15 to 30 metres. Access is strictly by boat due to the offshore location and surf conditions. Divers should be aware of potential boat traffic when surfacing and monitor their position closely due to the shifting nature of the currents.
