Local Intel For The Monument - George Town
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a shore dive with a torch and a plan for the tide. The shallow profile rewards slow searching, while advanced divers can extend to the wall.
Freediving
The shallowest line may suit very experienced freedivers on calm days, but the site is much better on scuba.
Snorkeling
The shallow area may be interesting on a very calm day, but the site's marine life is best seen underwater with scuba and a torch.
