Cap Salomon

About this dive site

This dive site, Cap Salomon, is a remarkable underwater landscape characterized by large, imposing rocks that create a dramatic and visually stunning environment. The rocks are stacked upon each other, forming a complex reef structure that descends gradually into deeper water. Divers can explore the various crevices and tunnels formed between these massive boulders, experiencing a sense of scale and wonder. The site's geological history is likely tied to the formation of the cape itself, resulting in this unique and awe-inspiring underwater topography.

The marine life at Cap Salomon is diverse and includes a variety of fish species, including snappers known to spawn here, large pufferfish, and the spotted eagle ray, which is a highlight of the site. Large turtles are also frequent visitors to this area. While the description doesn't specify other species in great detail, the overall biodiversity should be considered reasonably high given the type of reef structure.

The best time to visit Cap Salomon is likely during the warmer months (summer and early autumn), when the water temperature is more pleasant and visibility is typically better. Divers should be aware of potential currents, which can be moderate in strength and should check weather conditions and current forecasts before heading out. Freediving is suitable for experienced practitioners but requires careful consideration of depth and currents. It is highly advisable to dive with a buddy at Cap Salomon, given the size and complexity of the rock formations.
