This dive site, known as Cables, is a spectacular patch reef characterized by its unique feature of cables crisscrossing through vibrant coral and sponge growth. Situated in an area mostly surrounded by sandy bottom, this reef acts as a magnet, drawing a high concentration of marine wildlife to its sheltered confines. Navigation is straightforward, staying within the boundaries of the patch reef itself. There is no specific historical information provided for the cables, but they contribute to the site's distinct character.
Divers can expect to encounter a rich array of marine life. Nurse sharks are commonly spotted lounging here, alongside elegant angelfish, sleek barracuda, colorful butterflyfish, serene sea turtles, and distinctive triggerfish. The reef itself thrives with diverse coral and sponge species, providing a habitat for countless smaller creatures.
Cables is an excellent dive site for year-round exploration, particularly appealing due to the way wildlife congregates around the reef. Its relatively shallow average depth of 10 meters and maximum depth of 20 meters make it suitable for both beginner divers and snorkelers. Freedivers will also appreciate the accessible depths and abundant marine encounters. The site's unique blend of artificial structure (cables) and natural reef provides fascinating photographic opportunities for wide-angle and macro shots.
