This dive site features a large underwater cavern known for its dramatic light effects filtering through a ceiling opening. Divers enter a wide chamber, often teeming with small fish, and can ascend through a vertical 'chimney'. The surrounding walls are rich with sponges and macro life like nudibranchs and scorpionfish.
