Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
A relaxed boat dive with simple navigation around the main reef, lagoon, and north-side coral blocks. Good for a scenic reef day rather than a high-flow drift.
Freedive
The sheltered lagoon may be workable in calm conditions, but the site is primarily set up as a scuba boat dive.
Snorkel
Snorkelling can work in the calm lagoon area, though the main interest sits on the reef structure below.
