About this dive site
This dive site, known as 1000 Steps, offers a unique entry point via a staircase built in 1960. The climb of 72 steps can feel quite strenuous, contributing to the site's name. The reef features a transition from a gradual slope to a steeper drop-off around 9 meters, evolving into a dramatic steep wall with vertical grooves. A diverse array of fish and corals thrives here. Keep an eye out in the shallower areas for turtles. The dive offers a rewarding experience exploring this varied underwater landscape.
