Divesite description
Sloping reef consisting of rocks and boulders

Diving SImilans BarracudasThe massive boulders all tumbled on top of each other creating a maze of Swimthroughs around 24 meters, scenery of whip corals and massive Gorgonian Sea fans in combination with amazing visibility makes Deep Six another breathtaking divesite. Drifting away from the boulders, the sandy bottom easily slopes down below forty.

Currents                         

Mainly towards the most northern point of the side currents can pick up and makes it very easy drift away from the boulders. The current flows from the southwest to the northeast towards high tide and north to south towards low tide. The eastern part of the side has a large channel that offers perfect shelter in strong currents.

Marine life
