This dive site, known as Coral Bowl, is a distinctive underwater formation, a natural sand-filled basin encircled by volcanic boulders. This unique topography is adorned with gorgonians, corals, sponges, sea rods, and sea fans, some of which are more commonly found in deeper waters. There is no specific history or story provided, but its natural formation creates an engaging dive experience within the bowl's confines.
The site is teeming with marine life, including resident sharks that may accompany divers, as well as stingrays and spotted eagle rays. Lobsters, octopus, and a myriad of other small creatures inhabit the vibrant coral and sponge ecosystems. The rich diversity of corals, gorgonians, sea rods, and sea fans provides a stunning backdrop for these animal encounters.
The Coral Bowl offers an excellent opportunity to observe a wide range of marine species year-round. It is particularly well-suited for intermediate divers due to depths reaching over 19 meters, occasionally touching 21+ meters in parts. Freedivers will also find the average depth of 9 meters appealing for extended bottom time, while snorkelers can enjoy the vibrant shallow areas of the bowl. Divers should remain aware of their surroundings to spot the resident sharks and rays.
