Because visibility is variable, check conditions before booking your boat, and consider diving earlier in the day before any tidal movement disturbs the water. The cryptic species here, particularly frogfish and ornate ghostpipefish, are easy to miss, so ask your dive guide or boat crew to point out likely hiding spots before you descend.
