The site features a shallow to moderate depth profile with easier entry points from nearby shores and rocky descents that suit beginner to intermediate divers. Expect typical temperate northern California conditions, with marine life common to Monterey Bay including rockfishes, lingcod, and kelp-associated species, and encounters with schooling pelagic fish when conditions allow.

It is commonly explored as a drift or reef-style dive along the rocky seabed and kelp beds, depending on conditions and tides.
