The underwater environment is rich with marine life, primarily showcasing extensive coral formations and a diverse array of colorful reef fish. It is particularly renowned for its macro specialties, making it a paradise for underwater photographers keen on spotting nudibranchs, crustaceans, and other tiny creatures.
