Practical

Placed at the pass entrance waypoint (Jacaranda 2016), approximate for the dive. Lagoon depths stay under 30 m but outside the reef the bottom plunges to 3,000 m. Dive on the flood near slack; no dive centre is listed on Ahe in our sources, so this is for self-sufficient divers with a tender.
