Scuba Diving
Suited to scuba on a sloping reef from about 5 m down to 40 m and deeper; current can be a major factor.
Freediving
Calm-day freediving is possible over the shallow plateau, but the site is better treated as a current-aware drift than a relaxed no-current reef.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only sensible on calm days with strong swimming ability; the site usually feels more comfortable as a drift dive than a casual snorkel.
