This dive site offers a versatile experience suitable for divers of all skill levels due to its sloping wall. Upon arrival via mooring, divers can choose their depth and direction based on their comfort level. The left side features rocky terrain with cracks harboring brown algae and numerous nudibranchs. In the deeper sections, a prominent pinnacle spans 36 to 20 meters, creating an underwater channel teeming with torpedo jacks, lobsters, and cicadas. A sandy bottom surrounds the area, providing habitat for stingrays and rays. As you ascend, expect encounters with moray eels, colorful corvinas, and occasionally octopuses. The point's location is ideal for observing large tuna and amberjacks. When pausing to explore, keep an eye out for cloudfish.
