Due to the significant depth and potential for overhead environments, this site is suited for intermediate divers. Access is via the shore, and the site offers facilities including parking, toilets, showers, and a rinse station. Night diving is permitted, and the lake is restricted to non-motorised watercraft to maintain water quality.
