The site is suitable for intermediate divers due to strong currents that can shift direction, particularly within the canyon. Visibility varies between 10 and 30 metres. Access is available by both shore and boat. Given the overhead environment of the cave and the potential for strong currents, divers should be trained for overhead environments and carry a surface marker buoy for ascent.
