The underwater terrain is generally uncomplicated, with depths rarely exceeding 15 meters, making navigation easy and stress-free.

The site is teeming with macro life, a divers' and photographers' paradise. Expect to encounter a vibrant array of shrimps and nudibranchs, along with other smaller fish and invertebrates. While larger pelagic animals may be less frequent, the abundance of smaller species ensures an exciting and detailed dive.
