Certification & difficulty

Advanced Open Water - advanced conditions (currents/depth); dive within your training.

Snorkelling

Not a snorkel site - Limited viability; the shallow pinnacle top (~3-5m) could be snorkeled in very calm conditions, but the site is 30-60 min offshore by boat and is marketed almost exclusively as a scuba (two-tank) dive rather than a snorkel excursion

Safety notes

Exposed offshore pinnacle subject to ocean swell, wind chop and current; boat trip is long (30-60 min each way) with real exposure risk if weather turns; some dive centers decline or cancel trips in marginal conditions and require minimum group sizes; standard reef/wildlife hazards (fire coral, occasional strong surge) apply

Permits & fees

Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
