Here's what it can look like when trying to get to the water from the Marine Room Restaurant at High Tide. This is a calmer day and you can see they waves reflecting off the wall making the water choppy. On a day with bigger seas it can be quite dangerous.

I am not an expert or a dive professional. I don't know all the hazards that exist for a particular dive. I create these videos for informational purposes only and you should not use them your sole source of information on this subject. Some of my information may be incorrect. Conditions can change from hour to hour and whats safe at the beginning of your dive may be hazardous when you finish. Talk to lifeguards, use other resources and most importantly, dive within your level of training and your skills/abilities. Just because a dive looks easy doesn't mean it is, or that its even safe. People have lost their lives diving here so make sure diving within your limits.
