Is the blood kelp zone actually as bad as people say?

Hey I’m still quite new to Subnautica, and I’ve mainly stayed in the biomes I’ve known are safe from what I’ve seen (safe shallows, the kelp forest, the mushroom forest, the grassy plateaus, and the Crag field). But I recently got a recipe to build an advanced diving suits which I need synthetic fibers for, though to get the fiber’s recipe I need to get blood oil which is in the blood kelp zone. I keep seeing jokes about how bad the kelp zone is. Sorry for the over explanation but is it really as bad as people say?
