About this dive site

This dive site is located a short distance from Rasdhoo, offering easy access for divers. The reef gradually descends to a depth of 30 meters. You’ll find substantial coral formations scattered across the area, particularly between depths of 10 and 30 meters, often hosting numerous glassfish. The waters are known to be home to friendly turtles, and occasionally you might encounter eagle rays, mobulas, or even white-tip reef sharks swimming along the reef. Be sure to explore the shallow areas where vibrant anemones thrive, frequently populated with "nemos." Keep an eye out for smaller invertebrates like nudibranchs, scorpionfish, and stonefish which also call these coral blocks home.
