About this dive site

This dive site is located in a protected bay offering excellent diving and snorkeling opportunities. The area boasts stunning hard and soft corals, creating a vibrant underwater landscape. Juvenile black tip sharks are frequently seen in the shallows near the natural reef known as 'Coral City'. This reef is teeming with diverse marine life including hawksbill turtles, moray eels, juvenile hammerhead sharks (referred to as ‘nemo’ by some), stingrays, yellow snappers, crocodile fish, butterflyfish, and barracudas. A sandy bay separates Coral City from an artificial reef project. Further exploration reveals batfish, squid, nudibranchs, cuttlefish, groupers, and flounders in this area. The combination of sheltered waters and abundant marine life makes this a rewarding destination for divers and snorkelers alike.
