DIVE BRIEF: On the sand patches of 5-7 metres a diver can observe Brain Coral that house Christmas Tree Worms and with a little luck the common Octopuss. The fringing reef wall descends to 18 metres and there at the Sandy bottom you see Spiny Sea Cucumbers. To the South of the Buoy (23 metres) there is a large coral head with exemplary specimen of Bushy Black Coral.

Labyrinth: As its name implies this site is full of channels (5 - 7 metres) creating a maze like appearance to the reef that follow the Nurse Shark and close Hawksbill Turtle encounters. Tne wall starts at 5-7 metres and descends to a sandy bottom at 18 metres. There the bottom will continue to gradually descend to more that 43 metres. To the East of the dive site wall pinnacles are abundant.
