This dive site offers a rewarding experience for macro enthusiasts. The site begins with a gentle sandy slope, perfect for spotting a variety of critters and marine life. To the north, a sloping coral reef provides exciting variations in terrain, featuring soft corals and scattered coral bommies. Divers can conclude their dives near the northern end within shallow sea grass beds, where they might encounter sea horses, pipefish, and leaf fish. Deeper areas are characterized by an interesting feature: scattered tires that serve as ideal hiding spots for frog fish. The site is suitable for intermediate divers.
