Access

Exposed boat dive only in a suitable tide, swell and current window.

Best season

There is no fixed safe season: the reef can break in swell, so operator and harbour conditions control access.

Safety

Current, breaking sea, remote pickup, depth and wreck remains require advanced experience, an SMB and conservative gas.

Hours

No fixed public hours. Boat departures, protected-area access and shore entries depend on operators, permits and sea state.
