This dive site presents a sandy environment interspersed with patches of coral and stretches of macro-algae. A notable feature is the presence of approximately ten floating coral tree nurseries located centrally within the sandy area. These nurseries offer an opportunity to observe early stages of coral reef development. The seabed provides habitat for various marine life, including invertebrates adapted to the sandy conditions.
