About this spot

The site has attracted divers who've logged 12 species observations, giving new visitors a baseline for what to expect underwater. Three community videos document dives here, offering real footage of conditions and marine life. The site operates outside a marine protected area, which typically means fewer access restrictions. Year-round diving is possible, though seasonal conditions will shift water temperature, visibility, and marine activity.
