Divers can explore depths ranging from 10 to 34 metres, with an average depth of 20 metres. Visibility typically spans 15 to 20 metres. The site is suited for intermediate divers due to moderate currents that can strengthen quickly. Entry is by boat, and divers should remain close to the reef and use a surface marker buoy to account for boat traffic. Proper buoyancy control is essential when navigating the cave structures and drop-off edge to avoid contact with sharp coral.
