Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best treated as a straightforward reef dive: descend the sloping top reef, stay aware of the overhangs, and finish on the sandy bottom.
Freediving
Not the main use case here; the site is better suited to scuba than to a shallow freedive profile.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary. The site's main interest sits on the slope and deeper reef face rather than a lagoon-style shallows.
