Divers should exercise caution while exploring this site, ensuring they stay in the shadow of the current as much as possible and avoid straying too far from the anchor line. This precautionary measure ensures a straightforward return path to the exit. It is imperative to adhere to all safety stops and minimize the need for decompression dives.
