Dive site on the north eastern side of Big Giftun. Usually you dive from south direction NNW. On the steeply descending reef and on the sandy bottom there are lots of huge Gorgonia fan corals and Table corals. You can watch huge groups of Snappers and Barracudas and also find big Rays, Groupers and Turtles. In the shallower area there is a big variety of fish, often in big groups as well.
