I took my Seamoth (with MK3 upgrade) initially, and just scouted around to take a look. My motto is...when in doubt...scout. I entered through the northern Blood Kelp zone. Bring a couple beacons, to help find your way back out, and back in. The fauna in this area isn't very scary, and they lose interest in you if you get a short distance away from them.

The Tree Cove is not far from that entrance. If you find that, and are in a Seamoth, be careful about the depth. Stick to the ceiling, as you will be near your maximum depth of 900m. It's a "safe" area, and you can swim down to the floor to collect Nickel Ore.



I then came back with my Cyclops/Prawn Suit. You might bring a few materials to build a simple outpost, but the entire area is rich in mineral resources, so you don't really need to bring any. The upper/shallower areas have some Crystalline Sulfur in the Brine Pools, but I'd wait until you have a Prawn Suit, or a bunch of Med Kits, as the brine takes some serious D.O.T. chunks out of your health.



If you are in survival, or hardcore mode, bring some plants, etc. There are thermal vents everywhere, so that is a good power source. If you can build a Nuclear Reactor, there are plenty of Uraninite nodes to keep you in business for a long time. I hope this was somewhat helpful.
