Local Intel For Ski Slopes
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A boat-dived outer-reef site with a shallow snorkel-friendly top, a steep wall, and a deeper slope, so trim matters when you leave the ledge.
Freediving
Freediving is best kept to the shallow top on calm days; the wall and deeper slope make this more of a snorkel-and-scuba reef than a pure breath-hold site.
Snorkeling
The shallow top is snorkel-friendly and can show plenty of reef life before the wall drops away.
