Current runs moderate and can strengthen without much warning, so stay close to the wall and be ready to drop shallower if it picks up. This is a boat-access-only site, so confirm current conditions with your operator before descending, as the depth and current make this a meaningful challenge even for certified open-water divers.
Accessible only by boat.
