Keep a close eye on your depth gauge on the wall, as the drop-off makes it easy to drift deeper than planned without noticing. Avoid contact with the wall surface, as sharp coral and rock can cause cuts and fin kicks will cause damage.
From the harbour of Maya, take a traditional bangka boat to transfer to the island.
