This dive site, known as The Wedge, is located in an area where two reefs converge. This convergence creates a gap through which tidal flows pass, generating strong currents. These currents are rich with nutrients, supporting a vibrant ecosystem of soft corals. The location offers excellent diving opportunities for those interested in exploring coral formations and experiencing dynamic currents.
