This dive site features a large rock formation that emerges from the water, showcasing an underwater arch approximately 5 meters deep. This arch is notably wide and high, providing an accessible passage for divers. It’s a particularly interesting location due to its role as a refuge; large schools of fish frequently gather beneath the arch, seeking protection from potential predators. The structure offers both visual appeal and a unique habitat.
