Book a guided charter rather than diving this independently: the strong current makes navigation back to the shot line genuinely demanding at 60 metres, and a local guide will know the best descent timing relative to tidal movement. Confirm your deep diving certification is current before booking, as operators at this site enforce the requirement.
The site is located about 800 metres from the Roche Fouras.
