This dive site is primarily known for encounters with Hammerhead sharks, particularly during the feeding dives that occur from November to April. The site does not have notable underwater features, and its exact location may vary slightly due to tidal changes, visibility conditions, and boat traffic. In addition to Hammerheads, divers may also encounter Tiger sharks and Bull sharks in the area.
