Dive site on a plateau inside a marine reserve area, with canyon-like terrain and two reserve mooring buoys. The buoy described sits on the boundary between reserve zones B and C, with a separate zone where diving is not permitted. The area can be affected by currents and is therefore better suited to experienced divers. In spring it is described as a nursery area with many juvenile fish, followed by more adult fish later in the year.
