Scuba Diving
Best suited to shallow training dives, skills practice, and relaxed local diving rather than wide-open sightseeing.
Freediving
Possible only for short, calm practice near shore; low visibility makes longer scenic freedives a poor fit.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling near shore is possible, but the muddy bottom and seasonal visibility keep expectations low.
