In its early days, it was rarely explored, but has since become appreciated for its unique topography, featuring an impressive combination of walls and a flat shelf that extends into a volcanic crater. Divers can experience exhilarating drift dives here, utilizing the often strong currents to effortlessly traverse the site.

The diverse landscape provides a habitat for a wide array of marine life, from the smallest macro subjects to larger pelagic species, often seen on the same dive. It is particularly noted as an excellent spot for encountering elusive frogfish and delicate seahorses, alongside various reef fish and invertebrate communities.

While specific seasonal highlights are not provided, the consistent presence of diverse life makes it a rewarding dive year-round.
