Watch where you place your hands and fins throughout the dive, as stonefish rest motionless against the reef and on the sandy bottom, and the rocks and coral edges are sharp. Boat traffic is present in the area, so stay close to your group when ascending and always deploy your surface marker buoy before coming up.
