Book a guided dive with a local operator who knows the wreck's layout before attempting penetration, as navigation inside is disorienting even with strong lights. Night diving is possible and brings out the lobster and conger eels in force, but coordinate with your boat crew well in advance given the boat traffic in the area.
Book a boat dive at one of the dive schools.
