Safety Notes
Stay alert to boat traffic near the northern tip and keep a clean line around the pinnacles. The site is simple to navigate, but the surface exposure means timing and positioning still matter.

Scuba Diving
Scuba diving around surface-reaching pinnacles.
Freediving
The pinnacles are better planned as scuba terrain, with the best detail on the reef face and around the rock towers rather than as a pure freedive stop.
Snorkeling
Shallow areas can work for a quick snorkel-style look in calm water, but the actual site is primarily a scuba dive around the pinnacles.
