Firediver:I have only done the point and the drift dive. I haven't done the customs house yet. Where around the ferry landing can you dive?? On the opposite side the ferry comes in???
Customs House/Cancat Beach is best done at low tide. Look for the old weir poles and head left toward the rock outcropping. When you go down, you will hit a wall. You can follow that wall down as far as you dare, remembering the tide will turn eventually...
It has a longer window than the Point -> at low tide. I have done the Point for low slack, then hopped into a vehicle and drove the 500 meters or so to Cancat and done another dive at Cancat Beach immediately after without the current being much of a factor (just stick to the wall).
As always, best done with someone who knows the area the first couple of times. Compass bearings are (roughly) 270 out, 60 back.
Have fun, dive safely!
