About this dive site

This dive site offers a fascinating underwater experience. The descent begins in blue waters, leading to an area featuring a rocky outcropping at approximately 40 meters depth. A prominent feature is a natural archway, about 7 meters in diameter, located westward and 37 meters away. To navigate this area, divers will need to pass through the tunnel that runs alongside it. The tunnel's surroundings are characterized by steep walls composed of rocky peaks and plateaus, which are richly populated with sponges, fish, and lobsters. A notable feature is a shallow overwater section at around 25 meters depth, where turtles and rays may be spotted along a descending slope. Due to the depth and challenging terrain, this dive site is recommended for experienced divers.
