About this dive site

This dive site offers a unique experience exploring a boulder-strewn reef. The underwater landscape is characterized by a maze of gullies and swim-throughs created by the natural shaping of the bedrock, resembling a grotto. A diverse array of soft corals flourishes on this reef, creating a visually stunning environment. Small tropical fish are abundant throughout the area. This shallow reef generally experiences minimal currents but can be affected by surge due to its rock face shoreline. It’s an ideal location for beginners and those seeking a relaxed, slow-paced dive with plenty of interesting features. Underwater photographers will find this site particularly rewarding.
