Scuba Diving
The main fit is a shore dive with a gentle reef slope and attention to wave surge over the shallow section.

The shallow bay can work for controlled freediving on calm days, but wave surge makes timing important.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling works best close to shore on calm days; wave action can make the entry choppy.
