Local Intel For Giant Clams Sanctuary
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Suitable for a reef-and-wall scuba dive, starting shallow and progressing down the wall to about 30 m.
Freediving
The shallow top can suit controlled breath-hold work, but the wall and blue-water edge are better handled conservatively.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is most useful over the shallow coral-and-clam area on calm days; the wall is better left to scuba.
