There is a lot of underwater life to explore around the reef, such as seahorses and colorful jelly fishes along with plenty of fishes of various shapes and sizes.

For the most experienced divers, there is also a cave called the Shrimp Cave that drops at least 30 m/98.4 ft down. Visibility is excellent and the best season for this dive is from May to September, when the sea temperature reaches up to 27 °C/ 80°F.
