About this dive site

This dive site offers an exciting exploration of a reef environment. The descent begins by navigating down a prominent 'chimney' structure within the coral formations. A left turn at the bottom leads to a tight cavern situated beneath the chimney’s base. Upon exiting the chimney at approximately 28 meters, divers can explore vibrant table corals located south of the chimney – best viewed between depths of 20 and 25 meters. Returning north from these corals, the dive route progresses into a narrowing gutter, gradually shallowing to a safety stop point at 5 meters. This area provides opportunities for passage through an array of swim-throughs or a comfortable stop atop the reef itself.
