About this dive site

This dive site, located as part of the 2nd reef, offers a protected diving experience due to permanent buoyage designed to prevent damage from anchors. The initial depth is around 8-10 meters, leading down to a substantial wall characterized by numerous overhangs. This underwater landscape descends to a sandy bottom at approximately 28 meters. Divers can consistently encounter abundant fish activity and an impressive array of marine life.
