This dive site is suitable for technical divers. Access to the spring requires a half-mile walk from the parking area. The platform present at the site is small, and divers should only take minimal items. The seabed begins at 80 feet, meaning experienced divers may explore deeper waters than recommended. It's also a favored location for skilled free divers.
