Reef Description

This dive site features a gently slanting reef side that gradually transitions into a sandy slope, adorned with scattered coral blocks.

The slope eventually drops off into deeper waters. As you head further north, the reef shelf narrows down to a ledge, giving way to a dramatic vertical wall. This area is perfect for an obvious and enjoyable drift dive.

Aquatic Life

Expect to encounter giant moray eels, often seen free-swimming across the plateau, and occasionally, graceful eagle rays gliding by. On the reef slope, keep an eye out for fascinating creatures like octopuses and cuttlefish. The plateau is dotted with numerous anemones, each home to families of clownfish. While big predators sometimes visit the area, a shark encounter is rare but always a thrilling possibility.
