Safety Notes
Treat the dive as a proper drift: stay with the group, manage descent timing, and keep gas and depth discipline on the wall. The tunnel and deeper wall features are outside the recreational plan.
Access Restrictions
Boat only, with a planned drift drop and pickup; this is not a casual shore-entry site.
Legal Notes
Follow the boat brief, drift plan, and any site-specific limits on how far you are allowed to follow the wall.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A wall drift that drops onto a coral-garden plateau and rewards good buoyancy, timing, and a disciplined team route.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target because the signature route is a current-managed wall drift.
Snorkeling
Snorkelling is limited because the site is set up as a current-managed wall drift.
