Certification Level: Open Water - Easy Dive, Challenging Entry/Exit
Over View:
Burns Point is a fairly protected dive site. There is a fair hike from the upper road that you'll have to make. This site is best dove at high tide as entry can be a little challenging at low tide but there are two spots you can enter the water. Burns Point has a nice wall dive that you can explore and makes for easy navigation.
​
The dive site depth ranges from 30ft/9.4m to 65ft/19.8m. The channel from the shore to the sheltering islands is 65' deep with a gravel bottom. The shoreline drops in a series of ledges and cliffs into these depths! There are areas of huge boulders with poke in areas with neat marine life.
​
If you plan to swim around the island allow for a dive time of approx 80mins, the depth on the other side of the island is around 15ft/4.5m.
