Access is via a lava tube with two exits: 12–15 m and 22–25 m, opening onto the massive white coral wall. From 20 m downward, the wall is carpeted in dense, glowing white soft corals (Dendronephthya) that shimmer like snow under sunlight—creating an otherworldly blue-and-white vista. The top reef (8–20 m) bursts with colorful hard corals, soft pinks, and orange gorgonians, teeming with anthias, clownfish, and butterflyfish.
