About this dive site

This dive site is located within a deep reserve, accessible via the 'Table Top' entry point – this route tends to be less affected by northerly winds. This area represents the deepest part of the reserve and is characterized as a long dive suitable for experienced divers who have prior experience with similar decompression profiles. The dive begins at a depth range of 10-15 meters, following an undersea cliff. Visibility can be excellent in clear conditions, revealing features such as tuna, barracuda, trumpetfish, and grouper. Divers will descend gradually, passing a field of garden eels on their right before reaching a boulder field approximately 20 meters deep, where large numbers of morays are commonly observed.
