Another traveler warns that Nabq Bay frequently sees red-flag conditions due to strong lateral currents — swimming from the pier can be restricted since the depth there exceeds 30 meters, and the area is windy and risky.

Near the reef by one hotel (around the Club area) swimmers complain about crowded boats and people in the water — advice is to snorkel between Piramisa and the Conti area instead, where there's less crowding for now.
