This dive site is known for its unique entry – requiring a small jump, where the ‘giant step’ technique is practiced. Once underwater, divers initially explore a rocky bottom at shallow depths before ascending to a cliff wall. The depth gradually increases to 23-24 meters along this wall. During the dive, you'll encounter abundant marine life, including large schools of peccary, frequently observing eagle rays and sunfish, as well as diverse species of nudibranchs. It’s a rewarding experience for those seeking varied underwater scenery.
