About this dive site

This dive site is renowned for its dramatic underwater landscape of volcanic pinnacles, canyons, and swim-throughs. Aptly named 'The Kitchen', it serves as a feeding ground attracting immense schools of jacks, snappers, and goatfish. The rocky structure also creates a perfect habitat for moray eels, nudibranchs, and other macro life, offering something for every diver.
