About this dive site
This dive site features a prominent thila, or pinnacle, situated on a sandy seabed reaching depths of over 25 meters. The dive begins at approximately 6 meters, gradually descending to 25 meters before transitioning to a sandy bottom characterized by distinct blocks. These blocks provide habitat for numerous glassfishes. With some luck, divers may encounter turtles amongst these formations. The thila itself is home to large schools of blue stripped snappers. The area offers an interesting underwater landscape and diverse marine life.
