Book a boat that allows time on both the natural pinnacle and the artificial reef, as conditions can shift during the dive and you will want flexibility to move with the current rather than fight it. Check whether your operator can brief you on current direction for that day, since it varies and affects which section of the site dives best.
All diving is by boat.
