From there, you have two options: explore the expansive sand patch or head seaward.

Along this descent, you'll come across large rocks scattered off the edge.

This dive site offers a diverse array of marine life. In the shallower parts, you'll encounter Reef and hermit crabs, while lobsters can be found hiding under the reef edge. Amongst the rocks off the main reef, keep an eye out for the elegant Lionfish. Of course, you can also expect to see the usual reef creatures and fish that populate the area.

With a visibility of approximately 15 meters and a maximum depth of 14 meters, this dive site is suitable for divers of all levels.
