Watch where you put your hands and fins: the reef edges are sharp and sea urchins are common in the crevices, so bare feet and thin rash guards are a bad combination here. Check with local operators about current direction on the day, as the moderate flow can make the snorkel significantly easier or harder depending on where you enter the water.
