The seafloor consists of dark volcanic sand, rubble patches, and scattered coral heads where cryptic macro life thrives. Photographers frequent the site both day and night to observe unusual benthic critters hunting and camouflaging across the substrate.
World-class muck diving renowned for rare macro critters and cephalopods
