The site features two large submerged rock formations that have fractured over time, creating natural caverns and swim-throughs to explore. Depths range from 2 m to 10 m, making it ideal for intermediate snorkelers and divers. Hard and soft corals blanket the reef, drawing turtles, bull rays, schools of reef fish, and the occasional eagle ray or reef shark. The rocky platform provides some shelter, but conditions change quickly with wind and tide.","intermediate",null,"published",{"name":59,"amplitude":75,"phase":91,"latitude":22,"model":107,"epoch":108},[60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74],"2N2","J1","K1","K2","M2","M4","MF","MM","N2","O1","P1","Q1","S1","S2","T2",[76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90],0.029141978612846346,0.01324587388677598,0.22715860101850957,0.08364821709221167,0.8397305531171833,0.011486749465127174,0.0016090147232713508,0.006869755612232541,0.18751016030248802,0.11641961078922407,0.06251772930535682,0.0218211572110766,0.015994311292541655,0.272266180364951,0.019039653737200794,[92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106],290.16418426722146,33.68264269005911,6.374823595668745,308.2196966098559,312.8233281571198,230.47093309481915,44.30031963745,61.811800673136794,304.0190126168875,338.3662511816121,1.4060734140886668,318.5794455744691,329.53509393227785,313.5478856563806,325.5006011685457,"EOT20","1992-01-01T00:00:00Z",[110,114,118,121,125,128,131,134,137,140,143],{"name":111,"description":112,"severity":113,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Strong tidal currents","Tidal flow through the rock formations and caverns can create unpredictable currents, especially during outgoing tides.","warning",{"name":115,"description":116,"severity":117,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Sharp rocks & coral","Entry and exit are over rocky basalt platforms and coral shelves; cuts and scrapes are common without reef shoes.","caution",{"name":119,"description":120,"severity":113,"season_start":56,"season_end":56},"Changing weather conditions","Wind, swell and rain can quickly reduce visibility and create hazardous surf conditions along this exposed coastline.",{"name":122,"description":123,"severity":113,"season_start":124,"season_end":124},"Marine stingers (Nov–May)","Box jellyfish and other stingers may be present in warmer months (November to May).
