Navigation is straightforward, staying within the relatively shallow depths.
Divers can expect to encounter a large colony of whip corals, various cuttlefish, and numerous reef fishes. The site is particularly rich in macro subjects, especially on the sandy base starting from 10 meters, offering great opportunities for close-up photography and identifying smaller creatures.
This site is ideal for coral and fish identification, as well as macro photography enthusiasts. Given its shallow maximum depth of 12 meters and average depth of 6 meters, along with generally mild currents, it is highly suitable for snorkelers and freedivers alike.
