Beautiful covered eelAccessible by boat and land, but if you access this site by land pay attention to the wind and waves because they tend to be very strong and unpredictable. Once in the water everything is safe as there are virtually no currents. The dive site consists out of a small plateau with some garden eels hiding in the sand sticking their heads up in their quest of finding plankton. They can reach up to lengths of 80 centimeters and approaching should be done as quiet as possible as they head back into their homes in no time.

There are always some other smaller and bigger fish but the main attraction are the eels, so don’t expect brilliant coral and great walls.
