This dive site offers a unique and fascinating experience. The adventure begins with a swim along the wall, leading to an entrance into a beautiful underwater cave. Once inside, carefully ascend to discover an underground lake. Upon reaching the surface, you can explore a small niche containing remarkably well-preserved fossilized bones of prehistoric reindeer – evidence of animals trapped during the Ice Age. Giant grouper sightings are common while diving here. The average depth is 12 meters and it’s home to a diverse marine ecosystem including groupers, barracuda, nudibranchs, octopus, and snappers.
