From the bow of the ship turn north-north east (30 degrees) following a well padded coral sea bed. Keep this direction until you reach the big 'paradise rock'. Beside this rock you will notice another smaller rock filled with butterfly fish, damselfish and hundreds of scalefish anthiases. After stopping at this spot, continue on at 30 degrees as before until you reach a sandy patch with a 'coral island' in the middle.
When reaching this 'island' continue north, 360 degrees, and follow the edge line of these two topographic landscapes (coral and sand). Following, you will reach a 2-3m coral wall upon which you can enjoy various soft and hard corals. At some point on this wall you will notice a big anchor which marks your turning back point.
The way back is done parallel to the way in, 210 degrees on your compass. Its recommend you do the way back at a shallow depth in order to save your air and for a bit of variety.
On the way back you will, once again, meet the bow of the 'Satil' ship wreck. Depending on the amount of air you have, you can decide weather to spend a few minutes at the mast and bridge of the vessel.
From here start your way back to shore – 270 degrees on your compass.
This is a relatively deep dive so be sure to perform a proper safety stop on the slope. During the safty stop be sure to look around you as some interesting creatures may come by such as octopus, squid, tunas, scorpion fish, sea horses and many more.
Exit from the site is through the same stairs we entered from.
