Boat traffic above the site can be active, so surface carefully and use a surface marker buoy on every ascent. Guided tours are worth booking here, as the layout across multiple depth zones is complex enough that a local guide will help you cover the key pieces efficiently within your depth limits.
The site is accessed by boat from Playa Blanca.
