The site features a gentle slope leading to deeper waters, with a varied seabed composition including coral formations, rocky outcrops, and sandy areas – creating a rich habitat for numerous species.

Manta rays are occasionally spotted, and there's even the possibility of encountering whale sharks. The reef is teeming with smaller fish like snappers, groupers, and schools of trevallies.
