Boat operators familiar with La Punta will know when current picks up, so ask for a current briefing before the dive rather than relying on published tide tables alone. Pack an extra layer of neoprene if you are visiting between November and April, as 15 degrees at 30 metres will cool you down faster than the surface temperature suggests.
