Visibility ranges from 5 to 25 metres, and water temperatures remain warm, typically between 29 and 30 degrees Celsius. Due to the variable current, it is essential to consult your guide regarding tidal patterns and current direction before entering the water. Always remain close to your boat throughout your session to ensure a safe and controlled experience.
