Before you arrive

Access notes

Coordinate is a conservative rounded locality display point only—not an entry, launch, mooring, reef position, cave entrance, shot line, drop point, ascent line or navigation waypoint. Confirm current marine-park fees, permits, closures, operator access and emergency procedures.

Plan within your training

Conditions and hazards

Training supervision, buoyancy around anemones, boat traffic and changing surf conditions. Additional shared hazards include surf or open-ocean launching, boat traffic, separation, changing visibility and current, entanglement, marine-life interaction, and decompression illness. Follow the selected operator's briefing and remain within certification and gas limits.

At the site

Facilities and support

Current Tofo centers advertise guides, rental equipment, training and boat support; reconfirm oxygen, radio, gas and emergency arrangements.

Independent resource notice

This record is a starting point for independent verification. Access, closures, moorings, weather, currents, depth, visibility, operator availability, and site conditions can change without notice. Confirm current information with the responsible operator, property owner, managing authority, or another qualified local source before planning or attempting a dive.
