This dive site offers a unique experience beginning with an entry from a rocky beach. Divers descend onto a pristine white sand seabed, marked by the intriguing presence of bubbling geothermal gas vents. The area is characterized by rock formations and kelp forests located on both sides, providing habitat for various marine life. You’ll find lump fish, butterfish, and flatfish sheltering in these areas at relatively shallow depths – approximately 300 meters. A black sand drop-off awaits after navigating a maze of substantial kelp. Keep an eye out along the sandy slope; shrimp heads frequently emerge, observing the passing activity.
