As part of the Salinas Reef, the rugged cliff wall goes from 6m water depth to 35m where it merges into the sloping sandy bottom. In front of it, huge boulders rise, which are covered with sponges. In the northern part a deep grotto goes under the reef at the bottom of the wall.
On the steep walls shoals of fish seek shelter from the barracudas, mackerels and tunas that patrol the blue water. Morays and nudibranches live on the jagged rocks.
