I have mixed feelings, I am fascinated by diving and the crystal clear water is amazing. However, a lot of people, stands selling drinks and food, noise, crowds, a massacre. Entrance to the water where the boats moor. I recommend renting a boat for 3-4 hours. Next to Ramla Bay Resort you can rent a boat for 30-35 euros with visiting caves and diving from the deck.
