Details

This was another dive straight off the beach. There was a small structure with showers, a toilet and benches under cover for our gear. We geared up and walked out into the water and headed to the right (south east). This was pretty much a much dive and there was some artificial and natural reefs on volcanic sand.

We headed south west for a while and then turned and came back a little shallower, exiting at the entry point.
