About This Dive Spot

Wahoo features a prominent rock formation that rises above the water's surface, aiding in navigation both above and below the water. The dive site includes sandy shallows as well as steep rock faces that can reach depths of 30 meters. Divers should monitor their dive computers closely due to the potential for rapid depth changes. This area is known for plankton accumulation, which attracts larger marine species. In addition to the possibility of encountering larger fish, divers can expect to see a variety of reef fish, moray eels, and turtles throughout the dive.
