The dive site features a sloping reef that starts at a shallow 1m and descends to a maximum depth of 65m (although the description mentions a maximum depth of 24m for this specific dive, suggesting a deeper area might be accessible to experienced divers). The reef is known for its abundance of colorful hard and soft corals, creating a vibrant underwater landscape. There are multiple levels to explore.

The marine life at Anemone City is diverse and abundant. Anemonefish (clownfish) are particularly prevalent at depths of approximately 14m to 26m, alongside various colorful corals. Other species commonly sighted include snapper fish, barracudas, Napoleon wrasse, and tuna. The presence of these fish species suggests a healthy and thriving ecosystem.

The best time to visit Anemone City is generally during the warmer months (spring and summer), when water conditions are optimal for diving. Strong currents are prevalent here, so divers should have significant experience in navigating such conditions. This dive is not recommended for beginners or for those with limited experience in strong currents. Due to the depth and current strength, freediving is not recommended at this location.
