This dive site presents a unique volcanic reef environment. The area is characterized by extensive hexagonal structures, formed as lava cools, creating an almost constructed landscape with piles of rocks and artificial-looking formations. Deeper sections reveal impressive giant yellow sea fans. Due to strong currents and significant drop-offs, this location is recommended only for experienced divers. It’s a challenging dive that rewards careful navigation and experience.
