Marine Life

Hazards
Always use a dive flag. Watch for boats, Hillarys is very busy. Although Boyinaboat lies inside a marine sanctuary, I have seen motor boats illegally moving between the reef and the seawall (including a dive club tinny!!). Check for swell and surge. Entering caves and diving under ledges can be dangerous. Watch for cobbler and coneshells.
