Scuba Diving
Best for Advanced Open Water divers who are comfortable in current, drift profiles, and tight team spacing.
Freediving
Only suitable for very experienced freedivers in controlled conditions; this is primarily a scuba-first, current-sensitive site.
Snorkeling
Not a casual snorkel site; the depth and current make this a poor fit for surface-only visits.
