Red Rock

Big swim through available to advanced freedivers, very nice and different from most of the other dive sites around. Coral reef available outside of that cave for less experienced divers.

Classic tropical reef fish, occasional BIG grouper inside the swim through, careful not to get startled and hit the rock/coral around you!
