This dive site is a challenging shore dive along the man-made rock jetties of a major tidal inlet. Divers must precisely time their entry for slack tide to avoid extremely powerful currents. The reward is a vibrant ecosystem of temperate marine life covering the rocks, including lobsters, crabs, and large fish.
