Best for advanced divers, 15-24m, boat entry, strong current.

This reef is suited for advanced divers due to its strong currents and depths ranging from 15 to 24 metres, with an average depth of 21 metres. Typical dives last approximately 40 minutes. Because conditions can change significantly, divers should confirm current strength and direction with their operator before entering the water. Hazards include strong currents and the presence of lionfish; maintain a safe distance from these fish to avoid their venomous spines. Remain close to the boat throughout the dive and maintain precise buoyancy control to manage the drift effectively.
