This dive site, located along a harbor, offers diverse underwater experiences. To the right of the point, an artificial reef constructed from tires provides habitat for a rich array of marine life including anemones, nudibranchs, various reef fish, and a conger eel. On the left side of the point, a shallow kelp bed supports juvenile fish species, crabs, seahorses, and pipefish. As you venture further offshore, the seabed gradually descends to a sandy, silty floor, creating an environment for flatfish, crabs, stargazers, and rays. Visibility at this site can be challenging, often limited, with strong tidal currents frequently present near the point.
