Entry / access
boat

Woodhouse runs with the flow of the Straits, so the dive is a drift from south to north with no mooring. A canyon at about 30 m parallels the wall, a ledge widens near 14 m, and black coral grows around 20–25 m. Guides avoid pushing too far north when the saddle to Jackson Reef is choppy.
