As for depth of water allow up to the top of your rear sprocket and if you take the wrong line seat height

so any 4 strokes need to put the breather pipes up.

Otherwise should be a good ride.

Which translates to:
Bring your swimmers
wetsuit
snorkel and /or breathing apparatus
1x pair of spiked boots

New bulb 31 bucks freekin rip off I reckon (mind you parts in general are well priced). Bought one today! Repco stock Narva but not that bulb damn it.
Oh well its in now.

Just to clear up the meeting place? Turn off Maratoto Rd onto Wires Road and go to the end of Wires Road to a carpark area??
My Navman thinks it knows LOL!! So its faith in new technology. Doesn't look to hard to find though!
