The maximum depth reaches 9 meters, creating a gentle slope from the rocky shoreline down to a sandy bottom. The reef is characterized by diverse coral formations, including small table corals, brain corals, and staghorn corals, all thriving on the rocks. Hidden amongst these structures are honeycomb moray eels and giant morays – be sure to keep an eye out! A rich variety of reef fish inhabits the area, featuring angelfish, butterflyfish, snappers, mullet, barracuda, sweepers, small triggerfish, clownfish, and damselfish. The sandy areas provide ample space for practicing navigation and buoyancy skills, making it ideal for courses and skill development.
