Shore entry involves surf and a shore break, but this is a boat dive so that hazard is relevant only if the boat landing is rough on the day. Confirm current conditions with the dive shop before heading out, as moderate current can push stronger on certain tides and the sharp coral and rocks make uncontrolled drift uncomfortable.
Daily transfers are organized for guests staying at Touareg at a rate of 10 USD per person.
