- This is (or can be) a very challenging entry. You have to climb down very porous and challenging rocks. Either way
it is a dangerous walk from your vehicle to the entry point.
- The point of entry can be challenging as well. Especially if there is a choppy surface which is quite frequent. I have
had entries that threw me back into the rocks and exits where I could time it with a wave and just get deposited on
the edge.

Beyond Limited. You cannot park in the cottage parking spots or in the Church. This leaves room for maybe 6-10
cars comfortably if people park smartly.

Beneath the Surface Attractions
|
|
Unique and interesting rocks and rock formations; The main attraction to this site is The Anchor which is quite a
distance from the entry point (Approximate GPS Co-ordinates: Lat 45.258731 Long. -81.667251). This truly is an
estimated location. Everybody has a recipe of how to get there, but mine is as follows:
- Surface swim from the point of entry to the rock outcropping
- Drop beneath the surface and swim straight out from shore
- The anchor is hiding on the other side of a very large rock in about 65 feet of water
I provide no guarantee that this will get you there. I can only guarantee that I have found it 3 times in a row using
this recipe.

There are restaurants and shops in Tobermory. The Chi Chi Man ferry from Tobermory to Manitoulin Island is a big
part of the traffic in Tobermory.

Typical Hazards & things to watch out for
|
|
- Park Regulations stipulate that a dive flag MUST be towed with you at this site.
- Park Regulations also stipulate that you MUST stay within the boundaries marked by buoys.
- Descend close to shore and ascend close to shore. Boats in the area often use the flag as a slalom flag.
- Boaters are always a concern.
