The spot is suitable for advanced divers only, due to its depth. Also, inexperienced divers are not able to handle the conditions at the entry and exit points that can change rapidly.
Water temperature is up to 21°C/69.8°F in summer and early autumn months and between 14-18°C/57.2-64.4°F in winter. The ideal time to dive this spot is on an incoming tide. Divers may encounter wobbegongs, Port Jackson sharks, southern eagle rays, giant cuttlefish, bull rays, moray eel, blue groper, schools of yellow-tail, catfish as well as a wide range of nudibranch.
Keep in mind that the conditions can change without warning and decompression is possible. Last but not least, you are required to pay an entry fee to the park.
