The entry point can produce surf and a shore break, so brief the conditions carefully before you kit up and choose a calm moment to enter. A drysuit or minimum 7mm wetsuit is strongly recommended given the temperature range, and the on-site dive shop can arrange air fills and guided tours if you want local knowledge before your first dive here.
The Iron Pier runs out from Ramsey Beach, north of the island.
