Is a well-known site due to the fabulous reef formation, as at the mooring south side there are many different shallow entrances and exits to the caves and tunnels around 8m deep, and at the west side there is an incredibly amazing coral garden starting from 5m till 22m deep, also there are a resident school of Bannerfish and lovely Napoleon family at the south mooring area.
Such a stunning site for photographers.
