Dive briefing

AI-generated

Conditions are marginal today. Waves are running 0.7–1.1m with a short period of 4.6–5.7 seconds, creating choppy conditions on the reef slope. The rating reflects 0.6m effective waves compounded by that short-period chop. You're intermediate-certified and diving a semi-exposed site, so you'll feel the conditions; plan accordingly and keep an eye on your team. Water sits at a warm 28.7–29.3°C.

The reef holds hard coral and reef fish throughout the 8–25m slope. Divers commonly log stoplight parrotfish and Atlantic blue tangs among the coral, with schoolmaster snapper and western Atlantic trumpetfish often recorded here. You'll find spotted eagle rays, hawksbill sea turtles, and blue land crabs in the shallows and among the reef structure.
