This dive site is known as the Anchor Reef, named after an anchor located on the seabed below. It’s a beautiful and interesting reef characterized by a mix of hard and soft corals. You'll find plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. The area is home to several fascinating creatures, including the unusual anemone and its family of domino fish. Dive depths typically range from 18 to 21 meters (59 to 68 feet), making it suitable for experienced divers. A small ledge at the inshore edge of the reef offers a chance to encounter trumpet fish. Other marine life frequently observed includes red fang groupers, triggerfish, and yellow-back fusiliers. Expect a diverse array of underwater inhabitants.
