About this dive site

This dive site is located on the west side of an island, characterized by a reef dominated by hard corals and teeming with a remarkable diversity of fish. A prominent feature is ‘King Neptune,’ a large coral formation resembling a regal figure, offering a fantastic photo opportunity. Access to this location is via a working fisherman’s beach, which often provides opportunities to observe turtles foraging on leftover catches from the fishermen. While triggerfish and larger pelagic species may be spotted, they are more frequently encountered on the island's northern side and less common on the protected southern shore. The entry point involves an easy walk through sand and rubble; booties are recommended for comfort. Visibility is generally good, allowing you to appreciate the underwater landscape.
