The site features a large open-water area that reaches depths of approximately 100 feet, making it an ideal location for advanced diver training and deep-water simulations. One of the site’s most famous features is the compressed air bell located at 30 feet, allowing divers to safely observe the underwater environment from a unique perspective. For those focused on skill development, the underwater platforms provide a stable environment to practice essential drills under the guidance of our professional instructors.
