Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A moderate-depth reef dive with a clear sand channel that rewards careful route finding and close reef reading.
Freediving
Better treated as a scuba reef; breath-hold use is limited to the shallow edge and only makes sense on calm days with good water clarity.
Snorkeling
Not a primary snorkel site; surface snorkeling is only realistic at the shallow edge and still gives less than scuba.
