Local Intel For Picasso's Gallery
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Easy tropical reef route with coral heads, sand breaks, and plenty of photo-friendly detail. Good for buoyancy practice, relaxed reef time, and beginner reef diving.
Freediving
Not a freedive-first site; the boat access and reef structure make it better suited to scuba planning unless a guided shallow route is specifically arranged.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is limited to the shallowest reef edge and is less useful than scuba for seeing the site properly.
