About This Dive Spot

This site starts on a shallow reef around 5 m and leads to a drop-off and wall descending to about 30 m. Large overhangs line the wall, creating sheltered areas where marine life can be found resting. Divers may encounter stingrays or turtles under the overhangs, along with lionfish, moray eels, and lobsters. In the blue, passing eagle rays, sharks, Napoleonfish, barracuda, and schools of batfish are possible.
