Scuba Diving
Shallow profile supports long dives and is well-suited to training, macro, and photography.
Freediving
The shallow profile can suit experienced freedivers in calm conditions, but the site is still best thought of as a relaxed scuba and macro venue.

The sand patch and reef edge can work for snorkel viewing in calm water; the wall side is better underwater.
