Underwater directions: There are a number of interesting objects around the current Lifeboat Station including remains of the old Lifeboat Station a few meters to the east, a landing craft and a small reef. The area is teaming with shoals of breeding fish, bib, wrasse, gobies, shore, spider and hermit crabs, lobsters, cuttlefish, pipefish, small congers, oysters, mussels and anemones.
Site Hazards: The Lifeboat has to launch without warning so an SMB must be used diving here. Avoid the area directly in front of the station ramp and come to the surface immediately if you hear the emergency signal of THREE loud bangs on the station structure - a gap - and THREE more loud bangs.
