Water temperatures remain cool, between 8 and 15 degrees Celsius, necessitating thermal protection.

The hazard list here is long and serious: overhead environments in the cave and wreck sections carry entanglement risk, down currents are possible at depth, and the shore entry involves surf and a rock or urchin-strewn bottom, so plan your entry and exit carefully and never dive the deeper sections without the specific certifications the site demands. Verify current conditions and facilities locally before committing to any dive, as infrastructure along this stretch of coast can be limited.
