Treat the small cave entry as an overhead feature, avoid the site when waves are up, and approach the eels slowly so they do not retreat into the sand.

Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
A simple shore dive on a sandy slope, with the eel colony in the middle section and coral and fish life on the way back.
Freedive
Freediving is possible on calm days over the shallow slope, but the cave entry and sea-state sensitivity mean it is best treated carefully.
Snorkel
Good for snorkeling in calm weather because the shallow slope and eel field are easy to read from the surface.
