Divers should exercise caution regarding hand and knee placement on the reef, as certain bottom-dwelling fish species are well-camouflaged against the substrate.

Because visibility is variable, ask your dive operator on the morning of your dive for current conditions before committing to deeper sections of the reef. Keep a close eye where you place your hands and knees, as scorpionfish and blue and white stonefish blend into the reef and bottom easily.
