A guided tour through the dive shop is worth booking for your first visit, as the cave and canyon sections can disorient new divers without a familiar guide leading the way. The site is diveable year-round, but check water temperature before you go and pack an appropriate wetsuit thickness, since 14 degrees in winter will catch you out in a thin suit.
