About this dive site
This dive site offers a stunning underwater experience. The seabed is characterized by a beautiful, sunlit sandy bottom, richly populated with Garden Eels. A vibrant coral reef slopes gently along the shoreline and is locally known as ‘Disneyworld’ due to its diverse colors and abundant fish life – including Scholls of various species. Divers can frequently encounter turtles, eagle rays, and large schools of butterflyfish. It's a truly remarkable location for photographers. A reminder: please be mindful not to stir up the sand while diving.
