I'm not up for diving Rappel from shore, but it does seem to offer the possibility of a Grand Adventure. Here are a couple of interesting links (if you haven't found them already.)

Here's some dive site history and background on the name, from a 1984 article written by Bruce Bowker. Includes photos.

Here'a a map of the Rappel dive site area, with references to La Dania's Leap, Bloodlet, and other adjacent dive sites.

And here's a more recent photo that captures the essence of shore dive entry and exit in the area. You can see the BNMP mooring buoy in the water:

Holy crap! Is that as high as it looks? I've only done Rappel once, and that was by boat.

And a bigger question - is he part mountain goat, or is he planning a long swim to get out???

It's about 65' of rock face. (I read that on the Carib Inn link)^

I have heard you can get out at Bloodlet (next site south) but:

Though not recommended, this site can be reached from shore, but it's tricky and sometimes painful, thus the name Bloodlet!
