Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Follow the line course from shore to the clay wall and keep trim tight because the bottom stirs easily.
Freediving
Freedivers can work the shallow edge and the line-course start, but the deeper profile is better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the shallow beach edge; the main wall and deeper line course sit beyond casual snorkel range.
