Check visibility conditions before you enter, as low or variable visibility can disorient less experienced divers on a reef, so it is worth having a compass and staying close to your buddy. Watch out for entanglement hazards around the reef structure and keep your gauges and hoses tucked in close to your body.
Access is primarily via boat charters from regional marinas, though shore access exists at some shallower preserve sites.
