The best time to visit is during the warmer months, from March to November, when visibility is typically at its best and water conditions are favorable for divers. Strong currents are a factor year-round, so divers must have appropriate experience and training for navigating this site safely. Freediving is strongly discouraged due to the depth and current strength.
