This dive site offers a unique opportunity to explore the area between the old and new wharves. Divers can participate in a clean-up dive while observing marine life. The location provides access to a half-sunken barge, offering an interesting exploration point with the possibility of discovering the old wharf winch. A notable feature is the area beneath the new wharf; here, divers can spend time among various fish species and keep an eye out for stargazers that inhabit the sand.
