An interesting, yet equally dangerous dive site. Diving takes place in what is renowned as the worlds strongest tidal currents. Currents here can exceed 20 knots, and even cause large whirlpools. Diving has to be done during the right conditions and right area, so it is highly recommended that you seek local information before diving. With that said, it can offer some really enjoyable drift diving under the right conditions and marine life is absolutely amazing for such a narrow area of water.
