Very well protected area from the prevailing sea conditions this area is another favourite spot affording gentle and comfortable diving and is particularly popular with beginners. Drop from the boat on a mooring and descend to a sandy bottom at 7 metres. The dive then leads between a gap in the reef wall leading into the lagoon itself protected area from the sea and winds giving comfortable diving, especially for beginners. Drop from boat to sandy bottom at 7metres and go through a small crack to descend further down the slope.

Good chances of seeing moray, dolphin, blue spotted rays, napoleon and arabian angel fish.
