Visibility can drop toward the lower end without much warning, so a dive torch is worth carrying even on day dives to pick out detail inside and around the wreck. Check current conditions with your boat operator before descending, as stronger surges can make working around the structure harder than the moderate average suggests.
Exit timing must account for surface conditions and wave patterns affecting the rocky platform.
