About this dive site

This dive site is located in a northwestern corner where the seabed tends to be relatively flat compared to other areas. It offers a unique underwater landscape characterized by a series of bays nestled between rocky headlands, primarily at depths ranging from 10 to 15 meters. These bays are vibrant with corals, while the headlands support diverse invertebrate life. Deeper waters, extending down to approximately 18 meters, feature extensive kelp beds – these areas frequently host sea turtles, often observed resting peacefully in the shallower shallows. The site’s varied terrain and abundant marine life make it a rewarding experience for divers.
