About this dive site

This dive site features a reef with varying depths. The top of the reef reaches 10 meters, and there’s a cleaning station located on that area, extending an additional 9 meters above it. The reef itself is abundant with rocks and hard corals, including large rocks often visited by mantas for cleaning. The edge of the reef slopes down to approximately 15 meters, gradually descending to 20 meters where it transitions into a sandy slope before reaching depths of 30-40 meters. Manta season runs from mid-May through the first half of December. Currents are generally light, making this an easy dive site for most levels of experience.
