Book a guided tour rather than a self-guided charter for your first visit, as a local guide will know exactly where the stingrays tend to rest and can point out marine life you might otherwise swim straight past. Night dives here reward patient divers, so consider arranging an evening departure with your charter operator.
Entry is usually by boat dive.
