About This Dive Spot

Accessed by boat within 10 to 15 minutes, the dive site features a depth range of 10 to 20 meters. The site includes a small underwater hill that serves as a cleaning station for manta rays, which typically swim at depths of 5 to 10 meters, making it possible to observe them while snorkeling.
