This dive site offers a vibrant underwater experience, particularly appealing to those who enjoy abundant marine life. The area features a rocky wall descending to 18 meters, creating a natural habitat for crayfish and supporting thriving coral formations teeming with tropical fish such as Blue Tangs. A diverse array of fish species can be observed, including Silver Trevally, Goatfish, Tarwhine, Red Morwong, and Snapper. Winter months are notable for frequent sightings of Giant Cuttlefish along the wall, often attracting turtles to the island.
