About this dive site
This dive site offers an accessible shore diving experience. The entry point is a short walk across the beach, leading to a reef. Divers can access the site via a giant stride or roll back into approximately 3 meters of water. Following a brief swim, the depth gradually descends to 10 meters. Along the reef's right-hand side, you’ll discover a cavern system, several channels, and an overhang teeming with marine life, including fish, crayfish, and rays. This site is suitable for divers of various experience levels, provided conditions are favorable. It’s important to note that this location can be affected by strong seas and surges; therefore, it should only be dived on calm days during low tide. Local knowledge is highly recommended for a safe and enjoyable dive.
