Despite the beginner skill rating, the 27 to 30 metre depth means you will need an entry-level open water qualification that covers that range, so confirm your certification limits before booking a boat. Pack thermal protection rated for water down to 11 degrees Celsius, as the cold is the biggest factor affecting comfort and air consumption at this site.
