Safety notes

Arch depth (~23m) limits bottom time and requires disciplined depth/air management; one published account (Divernet, 2019) reported islanders demanding an exorbitant access fee that blocked diving during that visit - local village access arrangements should be confirmed with the operator before the trip

Permits & fees

No formal government dive permit documented; however local landowner/village access fees have reportedly been disputed at this site in the past (see hazards) - operator should be consulted

Permits and operators change - confirm before booking.
