Really underestimated dive site. We had to dive there on the start of OWD course when instructor needs lagoon. But wall on that side of island is really steep and full of life. You can dive in small cave. Really ... Really underestimated dive site. We had to dive there on the start of OWD course when instructor needs lagoon. But wall on that side of island is really steep and full of life. You can dive in small cave. Really recommend this dive site as an afternoon dive when sunlight do its magic and create really nice atmosphere. Some video from Alung Banua: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpF1ZoMr9oE
