Use the resort’s designated entry, watch shore surge and keep the dive within certification limits as the reef continues beyond the public working range.

Dive tips

  • Follow the local guide’s site- and tide-specific briefing.
  • Agree a maximum depth within certification limits; the published site range is 3–30 m.
  • Maintain neutral buoyancy and avoid contact with coral, artificial structures and the seabed.
  • Use the resort’s designated entry, watch shore surge and keep the dive within certification limits as the reef continues beyond the public working range.
  • Treat wildlife encounters as possible, never guaranteed, and give animals space.

Underwater photography

A flexible setup works best: use a macro lens for small subjects on sand, rubble and coral, or wide angle for the broader reef structure. Maintain stable trim, avoid stirring sediment and never move or touch wildlife for a photograph.
