About This Dive Spot

The island's underwater environment is characterized by vibrant soft corals and a variety of seaweeds. The currents bring in plankton, which attracts numerous fish species. In the fall, divers can observe large schools of yellowtail, flathead mackerel, groupers, and stingrays, along with the occasional sighting of Etisian jellyfish during winter months. Additionally, there are notable megaliths in the area that appear to have been shaped by human activity, adding an intriguing element to the dive experience.
