Maximum depth 22 m

This is a very interesting dive site, as it consists mainly of very delicate structures. The actual pot hole itself measures approximately 5 m long by 3 m wide and is about 3 m deep below the surrounding reef.

The pothole is so small that we request divers to enter it only 2 divers at the time. Within the pothole are numerous shrimps, and occasionally a barred fin moray. Gymnothorax zonipectus
