The hazard list here is substantial, including down currents, surge, and an overhead environment in the cavern sections, so dive with a local guide who knows how conditions change across the site. Confirm your advanced certification is current before booking, as the depth profile makes this unsuitable for divers holding only an open water qualification.
Most operators handle pickup from the Roseau or Castle Comfort waterfront, then run south by sea.
