Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a slow reef-and-wall dive with time spent looking into the structure for macro subjects.
Freediving
Possible on the shallow reef top in very calm water, but the staircase and wall make it better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
The shallow reef and public beach setting can work for snorkelers when conditions are calm, though the richest life sits nearer the reef edge.
