It's THE MAGICAL PLACE. At 13 meters you have a seamount with hidrotermal activity. This brings lots of live to the surface and unique life forms in shalow vents. Schols of Barracuda, tunas, bonitos and other pelagic fish are a certain! Be carefull with boilling water, gas, ammonia and currents or swells. Once I broke a camera there!
