The phase of the moon will determine the strength
of the current on ebb tide of this exciting "high-voltage"
drift dive with current speeds that can reach up
to 6 knots. The dive can be kept shallow or deep
depending on the experience of the divers. The dive
can start well up current from Sinandigan Wall,
but once you pass the wall up- and down-currents
can be experienced which result due to the topography
of the area. After this, the current then slows
down but pushes you up into shallow water. For multilevel
dives, or dives that have been planned to finish
at the Hole in the Wall, in this is fine, but if
the planned depth is 27m/90ft then hard finning
is required, and it best to keep your eyes on the
dive guide for direction. The current changes again
to pick you up and sweep you across the ocean floor,
where sea whips seem to cling to the rock for dear
life along with siphon sponges and gorgonians.
