Scuba Diving
Best for confident recreational scuba with steady trim and a willingness to slow down for macro subjects. The reef offers gentle slopes, rocky edges, and pockets of coral detail.
Freediving
Only the shallowest sections make sense for breath-hold work; scuba is the natural fit for the full reef profile.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work on the shallowest coral sections in calm weather, but the site is primarily a scuba reef.
