Because this is a boat-only site with mild current, try to position yourself on the reef so the current works in your favour from the start of the dive rather than fighting it at the end when your air is lower. Book a guided tour for your first visit as a guide will know exactly where the octopus and moray eels are sheltering.
Access is via boat from Alico bay.
