About this dive site

This dive site, known as "the caves", offers a unique experience due to its cave-like feel and interesting entry/exit points. It’s located on a steep boulder slope, presenting photographers with stunning scenery and ample opportunities for exploration. The area comprises several drop-offs and nooks and crannies, teeming with abundant fish life. Upon entering the water, divers will find themselves on a sand and shell bottom to their left, alongside the prominent boulder slope. Following this slope downwards, explorers can reach their desired depth and discover the diverse underwater features. As they ascend back towards the entry point, navigating across the other side of the boulder slope is key. Careful attention should be paid to decompression requirements due to potential deco risks, especially in the lower sections of the slope.
