About this dive site

This dive site, known as Artificial - Block2, is part of a larger artificial reef project designed to create new marine habitats. Divers navigate through a network of concrete sculptures, including cubes, tubes, and pyramids, strategically placed on a sandy bottom. The genesis of this site is rooted in conservation efforts to enhance biodiversity and provide a unique underwater experience.

The concrete structures provide excellent shelter, attracting a rich variety of marine life. Divers can expect to encounter plenty of rays gracefully gliding over the sandy patches, alongside trumpet fish and numerous moray eels peeking from the crevices. Large groups of snappers frequently school around the blocks, often joined by impressive barracudas patrolling the area.

The best time to visit this site is typically during warmer months when marine activity is at its peak and water temperatures are comfortable. It's an excellent location for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its manageable depth and abundant life. Divers should bring a camera to capture the unique interplay of artificial structures and natural marine beauty, making it a great wide-angle photography spot.
