About This Dive Spot

The dive typically begins near the local marina and follows a drift northward, influenced by a current that generally flows from south to north. The site features several coral ridges that run parallel to the shoreline. Divers can expect to see schools of grunts, snappers, and sergeant majors, along with numerous queen angelfish. Additionally, various anemones and a diverse range of sponges can be found attached to the coral heads.
