Watch where you place your hands and knees around the reef structure as stonefish are a known hazard here, so fins and gloves are worth considering before you enter. A guided tour is a practical choice on your first visit, since the layout of the artificial reef is easier to navigate with someone who knows it.
Easy access from the beach at Abades Bay.
