About this dive site

This dive site offers a vibrant underwater experience. The reef is characterized by a sloping structure covered in abundant hard corals and a dense covering of various sponges, anemones, and other marine life. Several fish species inhabit the area, including scad fish, bat/spadefish, parrot fish, surgeon fish, butterfly fish, and clownfish. The sandy seabed often hosts stingrays and flounders, with occasional sightings of more elusive creatures like ambon scorpionfish and demon stingers. Night dives are particularly rewarding, revealing a diverse array of nocturnal animals such as bobtail squids, octopuses, and ghostpipefishes. Visibility is excellent, making it ideal for photography and exploration.
