When To Go Diving

During the southwest monsoon season, the rainiest time is from June to August, and in September and October it is often sunny with notably less intense rainfall.

Numerous anemones, shoals of colorful reef fishes, wrasses, nudibranches, cuttlefishes, scorpion fishes, moray eels, pufferfishes and lobsters can be spotted at this dive site.
