Shaws can get pretty brutal sometimes though Ive been there a gazillion times to help teach open water classes.

When the weather is good its a really fun spot but when its not so good ouch! I see people get pounded on the beach like bowling pins and I just giggle.

Same goes with the viz at times its super good and thats when you fall in love with this spot. With the tunnels and cracks you can swim through its really cool one of my favorite spots. BUT when the viz is not so good you cant see your hand in front of your face ten inch or less viz.

There is a number for the lifegaurd station there and they usually know what the condition are I dont have the number because I just go down there and check it out.
