About this dive site

This dive site is located in a working harbor, requiring vigilance for boat traffic. The area features whale bones situated in the center. Divers have two entry options: a giant stride from the lower sections of the dock when boats are absent, or access via the slipway. This site offers relatively shallow waters, allowing for extended dives. Be mindful of ropes present in the vicinity. The harbor's working nature means that boat traffic and the presence of ropes present potential hazards.
