Dive Site Details:

Site doesn’t correlate to any  definite  tidal diamond although ‘E’ is  most accurate. Nature of this coastline makes each bay relatively protected  and have been dived at a variety of tide times and lunar phases.  Best to avoid site when strong southerly or south westerly winds . Westerly's also effect site  making the left hand side quite turbulent along the rock line. Popular with other water users so SMB’s should be used at busy periods. Toilets on site, shops and other facilities a  short drive away. Lots of parking available but still busy at peak times. If dived on ebbing tide, walk after dive can be strenuous. Reduce dive  window for  spring tides.  Wreck of the Missouri is  600 m off shore from this site located with buoy.
