What people usually pay

Budget for transport, guided marine access, and nationality-specific entry rules. The park's management framework clearly regulates diving, excursions, and some other activities by zone and permit, but current public material does not clearly support a universal blanket visitor tag for every traveler. Plan around operator bookings and rule-based access rather than assuming a single park ticket.
