Underwater directions: Follow north side along until you reach the gulley (NW), the gully is noticable from the sand from 2 places as there are 2 small gullies running to the main gulley. The main gulley is the gap between the headland and the island. Once through the gully I always check everyones air. If you have plenty left you can head anti-clockwise around the island and back along the north side (SE). You can also dive the south side, it is a series of rocky ourcrops and is worth a dive while you're there.
Site Hazards: Port gaverne is an active fishing port, keep an SMB up and stay close to the North or South sides.
