Snorkelling

Not a snorkel site - No - critters (seahorses, frogfish, ribbon eels) sit on the sandy bottom and require close, controlled scuba approach to find and view safely

Safety notes

Silt-out risk from poor buoyancy/fin kicks on the sandy bottom, boat traffic during entry/exit, otherwise low-current and low-hazard compared to Gili reef sites
