This dive site, Wahoo, is easily oriented by a rock tip that protrudes from the water's surface, providing clear guidance both above and below. Divers will encounter a diverse underwater topography, ranging from shallower, sandy areas to dramatic, steep rock faces. While the maximum depth is 20 meters, divers should diligently monitor their computers as it's possible to inadvertently descend to 30 meters due to these challenging drop-offs.
Wahoo is a prime location for encountering a variety of marine life. Plankton often accumulates here, drawing in larger pelagic species, referred to as "the big stars" – potentially including sharks and manta rays. Even when the "big ones" are not present, the site teems with numerous reef fish, various moray eels, and graceful turtles, ensuring a vibrant and engaging dive.
To maximize the chances of seeing pelagic action, it is recommended to visit when plankton accumulations are known to occur. Divers, especially those exploring the deeper sections, should pay close attention to their depth gauges and maintain excellent buoyancy control due to the potential for rapid descents along the steep walls. The varied depths make it suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, with shallower areas appealing to snorkelers.
