This dive site is a great option for beginners. It offers plenty of marine life to observe, making it an enjoyable experience for all levels. Parking is conveniently located along the seawall. The site is situated next to "Jam", a local dive center. A small swim-through, shallow at no more than 12 feet, provides an initial challenge. Night diving is particularly rewarding here due to a substantial reef and sandy bottom that invite exploration. It’s a fantastic location for discovering the underwater world.
