Accessible directly from the shore, this site is suitable for beginner divers who prefer a slow, methodical pace to observe the substrate. Conditions vary, and currents can shift during a dive, requiring careful monitoring. Divers should be aware of boat traffic in the area and use a surface marker buoy when ascending. Due to the presence of well-camouflaged bottom-dwelling animals, divers must exercise caution regarding where they place their hands and feet.
