About Ball's Pyramid

A wall dive. It goes down to 26 m. You get in from a boat. It suits experienced divers only, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces SW: swell from the SW reaches it, and wind from the NE blows out to sea. No dive centre within 10 km, the nearest 31 km away. The sea is about 19°C in July, its coldest month (7 mm wetsuit and hood), and 25°C in February, its warmest (3 mm wetsuit). The town to stay in is Lord Howe Island.
