About Candle Rock
Candle Rock is a short boat dive in Shakotan built around rock faces, caves, and crevices that turn the wall into a compact underwater maze. Seaweed and aquatic flora give it an underwater-garden feel, while octopi, snails, and small fish fill the gaps between the stones. It suits relaxed exploration in clear Shakotan Blue water, with flexible routes that can work for both newer and more experienced divers.
