Three dive sites on the rock, roughly forty minutes by speedboat from the Zighy Bay side. Visibility varies with the season; the fish do not.

Stone stores with walls over a metre thick, built to be locked while Shehi families made their seasonal move down to the coast. Ask a mountain-safari guide to point one out.
