About This Dive Spot

The wall is characterized by lava fingers extending into a sandy bottom. In the northeastern section, rock formations create gorges, and deeper areas reveal caves and openings. The reef top hosts schools of yellowtail, garfish, and parrotfish, while the wall attracts predatory species such as barracudas, tunas, and bonitos.
