For advanced divers, this site offers a thrilling experience, especially in the northern section where the reef transforms into a dramatic wall, ideal for drift dives.
Moray eels are frequently seen swimming freely across the plateau, while eagle rays gracefully pass by. Divers can also spot octopus and cuttlefish hiding among the corals. Families of clownfish occupy numerous anemones, adding bursts of color to the underwater landscape. Occasionally, larger predators such as sharks have been known to visit, though encounters are rare.
