About this dive site

This dive site offers a diverse underwater experience. The reef features a fascinating array of formations including overhangs, gullies, ledges, and a substantial cave suitable for swimming through. Large sand patches punctuate the reef structure, creating varied terrain. A plentiful population of fish contributes to the vibrant scene; divers can observe schools of fusiliers, snappers, and particularly impressive knifejaws guarding the entrance to the cave. Sea goldies, sea breams, damselfish, and royal angelfish are also commonly found. The outer walls of the cave boast stunning coral life in pastel shades – from peach fleshy coral to yellow sponges, whip coral, and a wide spectrum of other corals. Hard corals include table coral, staghorn coral, plate coral, and spiky coral. Regularly observed are various nudibranchs exhibiting diverse sizes and colors. This reef provides an engaging dive for experienced divers.
