About this dive site

This dive site is renowned for its spectacular natural archway, a large granite formation that creates a stunning swim-through. Divers can explore the walls around the arch, which are covered in Mediterranean flora like red gorgonians. The clear blue water and dramatic topography make it a favorite for underwater photographers.
