Scuba Diving
Best as a beginner-friendly boat dive with a rocky point, coral garden, and easy route-finding.

The shallow water can work for breath-hold practice, but the coral and fish life are better seen on scuba.
Snorkeling
The calmest side can work for a surface look, but the best habitat sits below a relaxed snorkel circuit.
