Watch your buoyancy carefully inside the tunnel sections as the walls and ceiling are sharp coral and rock, and contact can cause cuts as well as damage the formations. A guided tour is available on site and is worth taking for a first visit, as knowing where the passages exit removes any uncertainty and lets you focus on the experience.
