Local Intel For Wrong Entry
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Best as a controlled wall dive with good trim and a slow traverse along the coral face.
Freedive
Not a freedive-first site; the wall depth and boat logistics make scuba the practical choice.
Snorkel
Snorkeling is limited to the shallowest edge; the main wall and overhangs are below the surface.
