Safety notes

Use the site’s dedicated mooring rather than assuming it is reachable from Pos II. Avoid overhead passages beyond training and keep excellent buoyancy around fragile wall growth.

Dive tips

  • Follow the local guide’s site- and tide-specific briefing.
  • Agree a maximum depth within certification limits; the published site range is 5–30 m.
  • Maintain neutral buoyancy and avoid contact with coral, artificial structures and the seabed.
  • Use the site’s dedicated mooring rather than assuming it is reachable from Pos II. Avoid overhead passages beyond training and keep excellent buoyancy around fragile wall growth.
  • Treat wildlife encounters as possible, never guaranteed, and give animals space.

Underwater photography

Wide-angle equipment suits the reef structure and larger marine life. Set exposure before entering current, keep the rig streamlined and secured, and prioritise depth, gas, buoyancy and buddy contact over the photograph.
