This dive site is famous for its unique underwater topography, featuring two natural rock arches stacked on top of each other. The dive typically starts on the reef top before descending to explore the upper arch around 20 meters and the deeper, larger arch below 35 meters. The dramatic structure and clear blue water make it a photographer's favorite.
