★★★★☆ (706)

Excellent shallow beach dives offer great conditions for diver training and snorkeling, with an abundance of colorful corals including table corals, barrel sponges, and brain corals. The shallow reef extends west to the wall drop off at 10m-16m.

Always changing sea conditions brings a variety of marine life to the reef including sea turtles, blue-spotted rays, porcupine fish, parrotfish, squirrelfish, barracuda and nudibranchs.
