The difficulty is that island is at the entrance to Chatham Sound and the dive conditions can be quite challenging. I’m only able to offer a dive there maybe 1/2 the time due to surge, current, sea fog or high winds. Challenging?? YES. Worth it?? ABSOLUTELY according to everyone that has splashed there.

Best of all, we discovered thousands and thousands of swimming scallops on the bottom. Our scuba divers took great amusement in watching the pink and spiny scallops lift off the seabed and swim away as soon as the bivalve detected the presence of the divers.
