Located in the North, this site is usually done as a second dive after Barracuda or Cantrel. This area is dominated by huge finger corals, lettuce coral sand sponges.

Cantarel is a beautiful wall with nice drop-offs. In the right season, it is common to find groups of eagle rays. It is better to treat it as a strong drift dive, jump all together, and come out altogether. It can have a strong current, sometimes pushing out or/and down the wall.

Great dive site for novice divers, photographers, and night dives. Max dept 9-12m/30-40ft; current varies from slow to moderate so even though it’s close to shore, shore diving is not recommended.
