Due to the strong current, this site is suited for intermediate divers who are comfortable in moving water. Thermal vents are present in the area. Boat access is required, and a surface marker buoy is essential for all ascents. Divers should wear protective gear to avoid contact with sharp coral and rocks. Sharks are present in these waters.

Because the current drives the dive, brief your skipper on your experience with drift diving before you enter so the boat crew can position pickup correctly. A surface marker buoy is essential here and should be deployed before you ascend.
