Certification & difficulty
Advanced Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.
Snorkelling
Not a snorkel site - Limited - shallow reef-top areas snorkelable, but the main attractions (crack, wall, ledge) are subsurface dive-only
Safety notes
Strong currents at depth on exposed sub-sites, remote location (nearest recompression chamber is in Bali/Denpasar - VERIFY exact facility), narrow crack is a swim-through hazard if attempted (not recommended to enter)
Permits & fees
Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
