About this place
The entire coastline is a marine park, dive sites are marked by yellow roadside stones, and you simply park, wade in and descend — no boat, no schedule, no queue. That freedom suits nervous beginners perfectly: go at your own pace, surface when you like. The island sits below the hurricane belt, so conditions stay reliable virtually year-round.
