Best for advanced divers, 3-24m, shore & boat entry, mild current.
Vertigo is a wall dive that begins at a shallow reef at 3 metres before dropping into open water reaching 24 metres and beyond. This site is suited for advanced divers who can manage significant depth and potential current shifts. Visibility typically ranges from 10 to 30 metres, with water temperatures between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius. While both shore and boat entries are possible, boat access is recommended to avoid surf and shore breaks. Divers should remain self-sufficient, carry a surface marker buoy, and carefully monitor conditions, as the area is subject to strong currents and sudden surges.

Despite the mild average current, sudden surges are a documented hazard here, so check conditions on the day and plan your dive into the current so you return with the flow. Facilities are unconfirmed, so arrive self-sufficient with a surface marker buoy given the depth and potential for current at the wall edge.
