From the guide

Three to start with

…

Markers show general areas (within about 1 km), not exact dive positions — ask a local operator for the exact spot.

i.

Every fact has a source

Depths, access and rules link to the survey, agency or guide they came from. How we research →

ii.

Old is marked old

Details from the 1998 guide are labelled as dated, never passed off as current.

iii.

Local and independent

No paid placement. Corrections from divers are reviewed before anything changes.
