Dives run through Blue Safari's PADI 5-star centre at the lodge, with free nitrox for certified divers; most sites are 5-30 minutes away by boat. There is no independent dive operator. The nearest recompression chamber is on Silhouette, about 2.5 hours away by air (Divernet 2018). Coordinate is approximate: off the NE edge of the atoll outline.
