Check locally for current timing before entering, as moderate flow combined with the deeper sections can significantly affect your bottom time and air consumption. Facilities at the site are unconfirmed, so arrive self-sufficient with all your own equipment and a surface marker buoy.
From the car park, pass two gates. Turn right at the second gate onto the dike. At the first bend in the dike, turn right until the end. Enter the water at the first breakwater or opposite the bunker.
