About this dive site

This dive site is located on the east side of an island in a picturesque bay. It stretches along the coastline, offering depths ranging from 8 to 18 meters when exploring the local wreck. This wreck, situated further southeast near a cluster of rocks and a sunken catamaran, presents excellent opportunities for macro photography enthusiasts. They might spot pipefish, cleaner shrimp, spider crabs, or even a large Jenkins Whipray resting on the seabed beneath the catamaran. On the southern side, an old motorbike is guarded by a particularly brave damselfish creating a unique habitat. This area boasts diverse coral formations and various tropical reef fish. Southeast of the main site, ongoing artificial reefs projects are enhancing the dive experience. The site caters to divers of all skill levels and is a fantastic location for underwater photography.
