This dive site is located in a natural lagoon, forming the northern part of a sprawling bay. The area features a sand strip separating a main reef from a series of drop-offs. Divers can explore this diverse environment, encountering pufferfish and goatfish on the sandy patch and vibrant anthias along the drop-off. Venturing further south may offer opportunities to spot turtles. A key highlight is a picturesque pinnacle at approximately 9 meters, showcasing undamaged table coral – an excellent habitat for the secretive lemon coral goby. The site provides a range of dive experiences suitable for those seeking varied marine life and underwater landscapes.
