Because the site is accessible year-round and offers night diving, an early morning boat departure gives you the calmest surface conditions and the best of the high-visibility water before any afternoon wind picks up. Watch where you place your hands and fins throughout the dive, as sea urchins and sharp coral are the most common cause of minor injuries here.
