Safety notes

Use sand for training, keep clear of the jetty’s active boat zone and maintain conservative depth on the outer slope.

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 sand for training, keep clear of the jetty’s active boat zone and maintain conservative depth on the outer slope.
  • 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.
