Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba
Relaxed shore and reef diving with the best action on the outer reef edge and the nearby Three Rocks area.

The shallow sheltered water can work for relaxed apnea practice near the beach, but the site is more naturally a snorkel and easy scuba spot.

Relax / no buceador
Good for calm-water swim time, lingering on the beach, and a low-effort in-and-out session between dives.
