Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Beginner-friendly boat dive on a shallow sandy slope with rocky outcrops and coral on the rocks. Good for relaxed reef exploration and macro spotting.
Freediving
Shallow enough for calm-condition freediving with a guide, but it is still a boat trip and best treated as a relaxed reef session rather than a target-deep profile.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is possible over the shallow reef edge and rock outcrops when the surface is calm, though you still need a boat transfer.
