Dive tips

  • Follow the local guide’s site- and tide-specific briefing.
  • Agree a maximum depth within certification limits; the published site range is 6–40 m.
  • Maintain neutral buoyancy and avoid contact with coral, artificial structures and the seabed.
  • The main wooden remains lie around 35–50 m, partly beyond recreational limits. Do not penetrate, remove artefacts or exceed 40 m; monitor gas and no-decompression time conservatively.
  • 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.
