This site is a drift dive that requires boat access and is suited for advanced divers due to strong currents and depths ranging from 5 to 35 metres. Visibility can reach up to 30 metres. Divers should monitor air consumption closely at depth and remain near their guide, as currents can surge unexpectedly. The topography consists of a reef and pinnacle structure. Water temperatures remain consistent at 28 to 29C throughout the year. Given the potential for strong currents and deep sections, this site demands careful planning and adherence to safety protocols.

Time your dive around the current flow rather than the clock, as slack water here can reduce the shark and ray activity significantly. Brief with your guide before entry to agree on a bail-out plan if the current surges unexpectedly at depth.
