This dive site features a varied underwater landscape. It begins with a gentle sloping plateau, descending from approximately 10 feet (3 meters) to 65 feet (20 meters). This area transitions into a wall that continues down to 130 feet (40 meters). The seabed then becomes a sandy slope, adorned with scattered soft coral, ultimately dropping to 330 feet (100 meters). Diving at this depth is often associated with technical training courses, including 100-meter trimix and rebreather dives. The site offers a combination of gentle slopes and more challenging depths suitable for experienced divers.
