This site offers a wilder snorkeling experience, suitable for intermediate snorkelers due to the moderate currents present in the strait. Water temperatures remain consistent throughout the year, ranging between 27C and 30C. As a boat-based site, it provides an open-water environment for those looking to explore reef structures away from the coast. Snorkelers should be prepared for variable conditions typical of an exposed reef system.
