About this site
This dive site features a stunning pinnacle rising from 18 meters to just below the surface, surrounded by vibrant coral gardens. Schools of barracuda, trevally, and batfish swirl around the structure, while occasional whale sharks pass by in season. The current can be strong, making it ideal for drift diving. Soft corals and sea fans cover the rock, attracting colorful reef fish. Visibility often exceeds 20 meters, with clear blue water. Best suited for intermediate to advanced divers due to depth and currents.
