About this dive site

This dive site is consistently rated one of the world's best shore dives, featuring an astonishing concentration of marine life beneath a 300-meter-long naval pier. The structure acts as an artificial reef, attracting immense schools of fish, large predators, and prolific macro life. Dives are tightly regulated and must be timed for slack tide due to very strong currents.
