About this dive site
This dive site offers a convenient entry point for divers of all levels, thanks to its accessible shore access. Located around a pier, the site is particularly appealing due to the vibrant underwater ecosystem it supports. The piers’ pillars create intriguing structures covered in colorful sponges and corals – a truly captivating sight. A major draw is the abundant fish population that thrives within the sheltered areas beneath the pier. Exploring the nearby reef can lead to encounters with eels, juvenile drumfish, seahorses, or even frogfish. You'll frequently see schools of various fish inhabiting the area, alongside other marine life. Turtles are commonly observed feeding in the shallow waters near the shore on your way back. This site is suitable for both day and night dives. Please note that boat diving is prohibited here. Exercise caution when approaching the pillars to avoid sharp edges.
