About this dive site

This dive site offers a captivating underwater experience, renowned for its stunning photography opportunities. The area is home to several notable fish species, including large snappers, elegant marble fish, vibrant blue maomao, and striking red cod. Smaller but equally fascinating creatures such as demoiselles and leather jackets are commonly observed. As the water warms up, larger pelagic fish like Koheru, Mackerel, Kahawai, and Kingfish often move into the area to feed. The seabed is characterized by impressive boulders adorned with a diverse array of sponges in shades of red, yellow, and grey, alongside jewel anemones and colorful nudibranchs.
