About this dive site

This dive site offers a pleasant introductory diving experience. The entry point is from shallow water, approximately 4 meters (12 feet), with a mooring line for easy access. Divers will be heading toward a vibrant coral reef located to the east. This area is teeming with marine life including parrotfish, lobsters, crabs, shrimps, and nudibranchs – a true underwater paradise. For those interested in nocturnal diving, South Channel provides opportunities to witness octopus feeding at night, alongside sleeping parrotfish nestled within their protective bubbles. The deepest part of the site reaches 8 meters (24 feet), characterized by sandy and grassy areas, frequently hosting turtles and spotted eagle rays. It's a diverse environment suitable for both daytime and nighttime exploration.
