LOCATION- Turn left at the Marina (by vehicle), drive all the way to the end of the road. Turn right out of the U-turn Bay at the Co-op into the carpark and drive right to the other end of the carpark. There you will find our tent & home base.

PREPARATION DIVERS- Must have their Open Water Dive Certificate and bring it on the day to be able to dive. Please supply your own diving gear and bring it along on the day, if you don' have any Let's Go Adventures has generously offered a discount for those helping clean up and they can be found right next door in the Marina. Please also bring a dive knife or scissors work great if you have some.
