About this dive site

This dive site is actually a famous freshwater swimming hole, not a true scuba location. Its unique milky-blue water, caused by natural minerals, makes it a popular spot for photography and a refreshing dip. The site is extremely shallow with a rocky bottom and is located within a forest setting.
