No, we have advanced, but I’d consider it too dangerous for kids having nearly died on a deep dive myself.

The older kids (and adults) seem to revel in climbing and jumping from the trees and boulders into the deeper pools. I haven’t done it yet? Are they doing their advanced open water? J and T are doing their open water this weekend/next week

My kids are too big for this now, our days of swimming for fun are over – they’re chasing scuba certification next month – but I’m sure it’s great fun for little ones.

They have built some nice facilities there making it easy to access but there are still spots that one can get to with a little walk that are more secluded.
