★★★★☆ (871)

Slightly south of the entry point for Cedral Wall, this site is frequently overlooked by local dive operators despite the opportunity for shark & turtle sightings.

Ideal jump spot for divers with good air consumption and/or days with fast current who would otherwise run out of reef before running out of bottom time when jumping at Cedral Wall.
