About this site

This site offers a thrilling drift dive along a vibrant wall teeming with marine life. Strong currents sweep divers past colorful soft corals, schools of barracuda, and reef sharks. The wall drops to over 30 meters, with occasional sightings of eagle rays and turtles. Visibility often exceeds 20 meters, making it ideal for spotting macro life like nudibranchs. Best suited for intermediate to advanced divers due to the currents. The dive starts shallow and gradually deepens, allowing for a relaxed descent. Nearby coral gardens add variety to the experience.
