Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best enjoyed as a slow, buoyancy-aware shore scuba dive that rewards time in the volcanic structure.
Freediving
Possible only on the shallow perimeter in very calm water; the overhangs and structure make it less ideal for routine freediving.
Snorkeling
Confident snorkelers may enjoy the shallow edge in calm conditions, but the site is mainly better for scuba.
