Scuba
Good for reef, wall, and channel-based scuba days with a mix of coral structure and open-water marine life. This is a strong fit for divers who like variety more than a single headline feature.

Possible only on the calmest protected-water days, but the site is primarily a guided boat-diving destination.

Snorkel-friendly inside the reserve on calm days, especially where the water flattens after the crossing. The reef variety is the main attraction.
