This site sits on the edge of a drop-off, beginning very shallow and descending beyond 30 m. Divers can follow the sloping reef down to a plateau, with the option to traverse along a rocky-bottom channel when conditions allow. It’s known for passing pelagic life; in stronger current, divers may hold position to watch the action go by.
