This dive site has so many different kinds of fish and that is definitely the reason to dive this site. Schools of scalloped hammerhead sharks numbering in the hundreds will swim right over you. The whale sharks that come here together in groups in August and September will pass
by within meters not disturbed by your presence. Schools of tuna and jacks are hunting the smaller fish. Schools of dolphins, hawksbill turtles and many other smaller fish will take your breath away.
Just to name a few; mackerels, trumpet fish, parrotfish, snappers and scorpion fish.
The dive site often starts with a breathtaking view of the hammerheads swimming over you. They come here to get cleaned of their parasites by the kings angelfish. This dive site is one where you are most likely to see large pelagic in big numbers, including whales and big sharks.

Editor: Lars Hemel Have fun breathing underwater, but breathing above water is even more important!
