Vessels approaching the Alguada Reef will still find it necessary to be careful. The tides, when uninfluenced by the wind, set across the Reef, and with a good deal of strength between the Reef and the Phaeton Shoal. Vessels, therefore, should not come under 20 fathoms on the North-Western side, as the water shoals suddenly on this side, especially towards the South-West part of the rocks.
Fifteen fathoms will be a safe depth to pass in on the southern and eastern sides.
There is a good channel to the North of the Reef, between it and the Phaeton Shoal; but the navigation must always be attended with some risk to those unacquainted with it, there being no plain marks that can be specified as a safe and sure guide through. Should, however, circumstances compel a vessel to go through the Northern Channel, it will be well to borrow on the Alguada Reef side, passing about half a mile distant from the North-Eastern most visible rock, and not coming under 11 fathoms. Should it be high water, the breakers will show the rocks.
On the eastern side of the Reef, vessels may know they are clear of danger by keeping the high land off Heingyee (or Negrais Island) well open to the eastward of Diamond Island.
