This dive site is located in a wide, shallow bay fringed by reef along its coastlines. The western side features reef-framed boulders and is home to a remarkable aggregation of Scad fish – an immense 'ball' of these creatures. Divers can experience the unique opportunity to swim amongst them, even kneeling in the sandy bottom to observe their collective movement as a single organism. It’s said that spending an entire dive with this living school can be truly captivating. This is an unforgettable diving encounter. Visibility is excellent. The bay offers a relatively gentle and accessible environment for divers.
