This dive site is located approximately 500 meters from the shore and presents as a substantial wedge of reef. Access can be achieved via a main boat or a rigid inflatable boat (RIB). The shallowest part of the site ranges from 10 to 12 meters deep, often experiencing currents. Divers should swim toward the southeast corner where the reef drops off significantly to around 40 meters. Exploration north along the top of the reef or along the wall is possible; deeper sections offer greater opportunities to encounter larger marine life. A westward swing followed by ascending through the middle of the reef can lead to further depths and potentially more diverse species. The surrounding rocky stacks provide ample locations for searching, returning towards the 10-meter depth zone. A mid-water safety stop is recommended. Visibility is exceptional when conditions are favorable, revealing an amazing underwater experience.
