About this dive site
This dive site offers a unique and fascinating experience. The adventure begins with a swim along the wall, leading to an entrance into a beautiful underwater cave.

Giant grouper sightings are common while diving here. The average depth is 12 meters and it’s home to a diverse marine ecosystem including groupers, barracuda, nudibranchs, octopus, and snappers.
