Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep buoyancy tight around the boulders and coral growth, and confirm the day’s sea-state call with the skipper before departure.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; there is no routine shore-entry route for the dive site.
Legal Notes
If you visit the scenic landmark on land, stay on permitted paths and use a licensed boat operator for the dive itself.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
This is a better scuba than freedive target: boat access, rocky structure, and enough depth to reward stable trim and deliberate scanning.
Freediving
Not a primary freedive target; the boat-based, structure-heavy profile is better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-first site; the interesting part is below the surface and reached by boat.
