What It Takes

The Oil Platforms visited most commonly (Eureka, Ellen and Elly) are considered ADVANCED DIVES due to unpredictability of conditions and “bottomless” structure (Eureka lies in 700 feet of water while Ellen and Elly plunge to depths of 260 feet). Divers must have excellent buoyancy control and be comfortable performing free descents and ascents in open ocean. It is critical to remain aware of depth, air consumption, and NDL or decompression obligations.

When to Go:

While conditions in open ocean are never predictable, the best chance at optimum visibility is between July and December.

Dive Conditions:

Temperatures at depth can range from the low 50s in late spring to low 60s in the autumn. A drysuit or 7 mm wetsuit with hooded vest, boots and gloves is recommended year-round. Visibility can vary widely, ranging from less than 10 feet to well over 100. Surge is a given, and currents can occasionally be strong or rapidly changing.
