About this dive site

This dive site, La Dania’s Leap, offers a unique drift diving experience suitable for experienced divers. The dive involves traveling between two locations – La Dania’s and Karpata – with no direct exit point at the initial site. Divers begin at La Dania’s, navigating through currents to reach Karpata where they complete their exit. This route provides an opportunity to explore both sites in a single dive. A distinctive landmark marking the approach is a pile of stacked rocks along the pathway leading down to the water; it's important to drive slowly and cautiously as the road here is one-way with no turnarounds. From the path, divers can drop off their gear and walk approximately 5 minutes back to La Dania’s before beginning their drift towards Karpata.
