Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
The route is a guided circuit around the islet, with scenic rock relief and clear water rather than a long drift or deep drop-off.
Freedive
Freediving is secondary here; the site is better handled as a guided boat dive around the islet.
Snorkel
Snorkeling is not the main plan, but the clear shallows around the islet make it a possible add-on on calm days.
