About this dive site
This dive site features a steep west-facing slope with interesting underwater formations. Between 5 and 15 meters, you'll find caves and overhangs – excellent spots to observe Nudibranchs and other small marine life. Deeper down, at approximately 20 to 26 meters, the seabed consists of sand blocks. On the northeastern side, a gentler slope reveals beautiful hard corals. The area is known for schools of Bannerfish, and the shallow top reef (around 2-3 meters) offers opportunities to encounter Octopus or Hawksbill Turtles. Visibility is variable.
