Dive as close to slack water as possible by checking the local tidal tables in advance, as the current can make the deeper sections unworkable outside that window. Boat traffic is a genuine hazard on the surface, so deploy a surface marker buoy before ascending.
Walk from the parking lot via the bike path to the head of the dike and enter the water at the end of the breakwater.
