Red Marker

This dive site is situated near the green marker of Hija Fishing Port, located to the north of the Hija River mouth. It features a large reef that stretches from east to west across the sandy seabed. The shallow areas, about 5 meters deep, are dominated by soft corals, while the deeper regions to the south have a sandy muddy bottom. Notably, on the deepest part of the western side, there is a peculiar boulder that resembles granite, often referred to as a “stone circle.“ This may have been a tombstone from a ship’s cargo that ended up in this location for unknown reasons.

Orthodox spiny dogfish, wrasse, butterflyfish, and sea otters are abundant. All species of clownfish are present except for the red clownfish. Rare nudibranchs also appear during the winter. In the sandy area of the sand and mud mansion on the south side, you can observe a variety of symbiotic gobies, such as the Newdow's Goby.
