The cave section creates an overhead environment that sits outside the scope of a basic Open Water certification, so stick to the wall and open reef until you have overhead training. Water temperature drops noticeably with depth due to a thermocline, so carry an extra layer even in summer.
The site is located 15 minutes from the diving centre.
