About this dive site

This dive site offers a diverse underwater experience, accessible from a galley beach. It features shallow grass beds perfect for beginners, transitioning to a dramatic vertical drop-off that plunges beyond 60 meters. Divers can explore the shallows or navigate along the impressive wall for deeper adventures. There is no specific historical information provided for this natural dive site.

The shallow grass beds are home to sun perch, common perch, shrimp, and mussels, providing excellent opportunities for macro photography and observing smaller aquatic life. While the description focuses on the shallow inhabitants, the deeper sections of the wall may also harbor other species typical of freshwater lake environments.

The site is suitable for diving throughout the year, with conditions varying by season. It's an excellent choice for mixed groups due to its varying depths, allowing both beginners and advanced divers to enjoy different aspects of the site. Freedivers will find the deep vertical drop-off particularly appealing for depth training, while snorkelers can explore the vibrant shallow grass beds.
