This dive site is suitable for experienced divers. The dive begins at a reef top elevation of 15 meters, descending to the sandy seabed that surrounds the reef structure. At approximately 32 meters depth, a submerged volcanic cave entrance can be explored. This location presents an opportunity to experience both open water reef diving and confined cave environments within a single site.
