  • Agree a maximum depth within certification limits; the published site range is 5–40 m.
  • Maintain neutral buoyancy and avoid contact with coral, artificial structures and the seabed.
  • The wall continues beyond recreational depth. Maintain depth and no-decompression awareness, avoid contact with sea fans and use the licensed park operator’s mooring and pickup plan.
  • 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.
