Local Intel For Explosion
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
The dive starts shallow on the anchor line and then quickly opens into a blue-water wall and boulder profile, which makes it a good guided fish-watching and photography site.
Freediving
Not the primary use case; the site is better suited to scuba boat diving.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here; the deeper wall and fast profile change make scuba the practical fit.
