Local Intel For A E Vickery
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Suitable for beginners, with a shallow start and the option to continue to the deeper cliff if conditions and comfort allow.
Freediving
Good for experienced freedivers on calm days because the shallow top is accessible and the route stays simple if you don't push the cliff.
Snorkeling
The shallow top can work for a casual snorkel on calm days, but the site is more rewarding as a freedive or scuba outing once you want the deeper reef edge.
