This dive site offers a diverse range of marine life encounters. During the summer months, it becomes a prime location for Reef Manta Ray cleaning by local cleaner wrasses and fish on several bommies. Even when Mantas aren't present, visitors can regularly observe large Black Blotched Rays, Leopard Sharks, and octopuses seeking mates. Year-round, turtles are commonly sighted alongside Bamboo Sharks and Wobbegong Sharks, along with various species of rays. A tiny frogfish was unexpectedly discovered here! The area provides opportunities to explore a vibrant underwater ecosystem.
