Dive-site story

Mild currents regularly flush the area on the protected inner sea, making it an accessible dive with dependable wildlife encounters. Divers cruise along low rocky ledges where resident marine life shelters beneath overhangs.
Volcanic slab topography with undercut ledges and sandy patches
Frequent encounters with resting nurse sharks tucked under rocky shelves
Regular sightings of green sea turtles grazing on algae-covered rocks
