The reef is teeming with diverse marine life. Divers can frequently encounter nurse sharks, often found seeking shelter under the overhangs of the reef structures. Sea turtles are also regular visitors to this site. The description of 'full of life' suggests a healthy ecosystem rich with various reef fish and corals, making it a dynamic underwater environment.

The dive site is ideal for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its relatively shallow average depth and excellent visibility.
