About this dive site

This dive site features the dramatic underwater remains of a large iron lighthouse that toppled into the sea during a storm. The intricate lattice structure now lies on a sandy slope, creating a unique and photogenic artificial reef. Divers can explore the framework, which is heavily encrusted with yellow and red sponges and home to a rich variety of marine life.
