| Location
|
Located 46.2km
from Dili at the base of a small 34 house village. On
the south side of the road and above the dive site is a
thorn tree with a locally made bench underneath it.
There is a makeshift turnout right after the tree when one
or two vehicles can be parked. |
| Entry |
The entry is
sometimes hard to find because there is quite a bit of grass
growing between the road and the water. Look carefully
and you will find a path that fishermen use to get to the
water. Follow this path to the waters
edge. |
| UW profile
|
The entry to
the site is rather rocky. If the surge is bad or there
is considerable wave action, you should consider another
dive site as getting out here can be challenging and
potentially dangerous with surge and waves. Once in
the water you can to the west where the gradual slope
quickly gets steeper and changes into a wall. On this
wall there are lots of corals and animals. |
| Points of interest |
On the rock
wall you will find cup corals, and soft corals including
lots of sea squirts. This is a great place for a night
dive where the wall lights up with the reds and oranges from
the blooming polyps of nocturnal corals. Small reef
sharks and blue ribbon eels have been seen at this
site. |
| Topside |
Directly to the
East there is a pebble strewn beach good for taking
strolls. The area is close to the road and not very
private, though. |
