Begin your dive from the palm-fringed beach, gradually descending or choosing a side based on your experience level.
To start your diving adventure, head south and follow the veril on the right, leading you to a pair of captivating caves. After exploring this underwater wonder, cross the inlet to the other side, where you'll encounter a couple of motorcycles adorned with seaweed.
