A wreck dive. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces NW: swell from the NW reaches it, and wind from the SE blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 37 km away. The sea is about 6°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 19°C in August, its warmest (7 mm wetsuit and hood).
