About This Dive Site

A macro-focused site on a gentle sandy slope that transitions north into a sloping coral reef with soft corals and scattered bommies. The dive typically concludes near shallow seagrass beds, a reliable spot for seahorses and pipefish. Deeper sections feature old tires that provide cover for resident frogfish; the 30-metre maximum depth calls for more than beginner training.

Certification Required: Open Water (Advanced Open Water recommended past 20m)
