The diving is varied with big and small and there can sometimes be a strong current in the strait between the islands, which is why you should maybe have some experience before you go here to get as much out as possible. For those who don't dive but like to snorkel, there is a 600 meter long house reef with extremely fine coral reefs and a lot to experience.
For those who want to experience a Tripst far from mass tourism and world-class coral reefs and can imagine a slightly longer journey, this is a fantastic experience.
