About this dive site

This dive site offers a diverse underwater experience. To the east, you'll discover coral-covered boulders and vibrant schools of fish swimming nearby. Moving westward from the mooring point, an expanse of Acropora coral stretches out, leading to a channel between 'Lighthouse' and Bald. The shallower areas feature sandy gullies teeming with marine life. Please be aware that currents can occasionally be strong in this area, so it’s important to check conditions before diving.
