The approach to the site itself is an experience, building anticipation for the unique topography below. Divers navigate through these dramatic volcanic structures, creating an immersive and visually stunning journey through crevices and arches formed by ancient lava flows.

Underwater, divers will encounter a variety of marine life. Common sightings include trumpet fish and puffer fish, which are frequently observed in the area. With a bit of luck, divers may also spot more impressive creatures such as graceful stingrays and majestic eagle rays. Occasionally, larger pelagic fish pass through, adding to the excitement of the dive.
