| Location |
Second cove East of
Christo Rei statue. Take the beach road as if to
Hera. After coming down from the pass from Dili, there
is a turnoff on the left. Follow the coastal road back
Westward. |
| Entry |
Between the two
large beaches East of Christo Rei is a small cove with a white
sand beach. There are run down cement steps from the
road to the beach. The entry is shallow for a long
distance and may require some swimming or walking to get to
deeper water. |

profile |
Initially a gradual
slope but which increases quickly. Watch your depth
gauge. |
| Points of interest |
The slope is
covered with interesting small coral formations marked by some
brain and table coral. At 18-20 meters the slope drops off to
the open ocean. Schools of sardines can be seen
swimming by. There is a nice coral garden at 4-5 meters
depth right off the point on the West side of the
cove. |
| Topside |
It is a steep
descent to the beach where there is little to no
shade. A great place to picnic is the beach in the
cove directly to the East. |
