There is no specific historical information or unique story provided for this dive site.
The site is renowned for its diverse marine life, with common sightings including White tip reef sharks, Lobsters, Dog tooth tunas, Fusiliers, Hawksbill Turtles, and Silver tip sharks. The healthy and vibrant coral formations provide a colourful backdrop for this rich ecosystem. Seasonally, divers have the extraordinary opportunity to encounter magnificent pelagic species such as Cruising Oceanic Mantas, Whale Sharks, and Thresher sharks.
