About this dive site
This dive site is renowned for its captivating beauty and abundant marine life. It features a dramatic underwater landscape characterized by huge rock formations, offering an intriguing topography that divers repeatedly seek out. Towering boulders are adorned with vibrant pink soft coral, alongside brightly colored feather stars and tube worms – creating a truly spectacular scene. The reef itself teems with activity; fusiliers, snapper, and sardines dart amongst the rocky contours, while larger jacks and mackerel patrol the area in search of prey. In sandy patches, bamboo sharks and marble rays often find refuge. This location is particularly appealing to macro photographers, as it frequently hosts a diverse array of small creatures including ghost pipefish, scorpionfish, frogfish, juvenile reef fish, spider crabs, cowries, colorful nudibranchs, and tiny shrimps.
