Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided multilevel boat dive with buoyancy control and a computer. The volcanic wall and drop suit steady divers more than casual sightseeing.

Possible only for very experienced freedivers with local guidance, but the site is much better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is secondary here; the best structure sits on and below the wall.
