Scuba
Scuba diving around surface-reaching pinnacles.
Freedive
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.
Snorkel
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.
