Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a planned scuba dive to the pinnacle and surrounding drop-off. The reward is the vertical scenery, but the profile demands conservative depth control.

Not a practical freedive target because the main feature starts deep and the site is built for certified scuba divers.
