About this dive site

This dive site begins with an easy passage through a siphon, entering at 4 meters and exiting at approximately 12 meters. The seabed then degrades quickly to a maximum depth of 25-30 meters. Divers can explore ravines along the left wall, often encountering numerous moray eels, scorpion fish, and nudibranchs. Looking towards the blue horizon might reveal passing fish such as barracudas, snappers, and amberjacks. Continuing further, one will discover a large anchor overgrown with vegetation, also a potential habitat for nudibranchs. The dive concludes by returning under the boat near the siphon entrance, providing an opportunity to perform the safety stop in tranquil waters.
