Best as a guided multilevel scuba dive with buoyancy control and a computer. The deeper wall and crack are a better fit for advanced comfort than for a quick sightseeing hop.
Freediving
Possible only for experienced freedivers with local guidance, but the site profile is much better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is only secondary here; the main interest sits on the wall and deeper rock line.
