The site features gutters, ridges, and bommies to explore and is typically done as a drift dive due to the currents. The depth can reach up to 30 meters.

The highlight of the dive site is a bommie that serves as a cleaning station for fish. This attracts a variety of fish, including manta rays, allowing divers to witness these magnificent creatures up close. The site is also home to reef sharks, pelagic fish, and turtles, making it a paradise for marine life enthusiasts.
