Dive Site Information Level: Advanced Open Water Entry: Difficult - rocky shore and slippery rocks as well as the incoming or outgoing tide. During certain months the rocks around the entry point are coated in green seaweed. Stay fairly close to the long rock about 3 feet away from it is the easiest entry point (see picture below). There are many spots around the Lodge that divers can enter the water, however this spot is both easy to enter and exit during high and low tide. As the tide goes out there are large rocks that become visible, be aware they may be slippery. Navigation: Before going down take a bearing of 120 degrees using (see picture below) as a reference. Once you are past the entry point, it is straight down to 7 to 10 feet. Check your bearing of 120 degrees. On the return, your reciprocal bearing is 300 degrees. See the picture below for the direction of North. Visibility: Average visibility is easily 25 to 30 feet even at 80 feet but remember that can vary depending on conditions. Depth: 10 feet to easily 140 plus feet. However recreational limits are 130 feet so remember to stay within your no decompression limits. Dive within your training. Surface Conditions: There is a surge on the surface as the site is rather open. Make sure to check weather conditions prior to diving this site. Currents: Usually there are no major currents but always be aware there IS a possibility of a current being there depending on local conditions. Plan your dive accordingly. Bottom Composition: From shore to 40-45 feet composition is mainly rock with a great deal of plant life (kelp). From 45 feet out it is mostly sand with some rocks. There is a lot of variety to see at this location, making it a fun dive. From the entry rock, if you go to your left, be aware around 50 to 60 feet there are crates with numbers which are chained to the bottom. Please leave these crates alone.
