Henderson Point
Type
of dive: shore dive
Rating for this dive site:
7/10 for ease of entry, and lots of rock structure
Parking: 7/10 with space for
about six cars or trucks, and there is plenty of space along the road as well.
Boat ramp: none
Ease of entry: 8/10 but
the rock steps can be challenging for the last few feet down to beach. On rough days, entry can be fairly tricky.
Abundance of life: 6/10 Plenty of crabs, seaweed, and some anenomes.
Attractions: Fairly easy entry if you can get down the rock steps,
protected from current most of the time. There is a sunken boat located to the right of the entry point. Simply drop down to 60 ft, and turn right. Keep going until you find the boat.
Bottom and depth: Combination of rock walls & rocks make the depth vary, but a maximum would be 75 ft.
Facilities: No permanent facilities. There is however, a building that is currently being constructed, which has a portable bathroom on site.
Hazards/Obstacles: Getting down to the beach the last few feet, boats
could be a problem but I've never had a problem
Sensitivity to tide/current: Protected from current, low tide can
expose
rocks that are better navigated at high tide
Terrain: There is a lot of solid rock, and rock walls at this site. As
well as a lot of sand in the shallows and flat areasDriving directions: (click map to go to interactive map) Entry directions: Park at the cul-de-sac at the end of Senanus Road. The entry to the shore is a little path at the end of the road. It's about a 1 minute walk to the shore.
