About this dive site

This dive site is located in a fascinating area between cracks and passages, featuring caves and remnants of Byzantine anchors. The seabed consists primarily of boulder formations where exercise sessions for various courses conclude, surrounded by posidonia meadows and sandy areas teeming with marine life. Visibility is excellent, offering a wide view of the surrounding blue waters due to the sheer wall structure. Depending on the time of year, divers may encounter large tuna or migratory fish. Notably, this location serves as a spawning ground for anglerfish and spider crabs. The area's diverse ecosystem includes parazoantus, dromie, and cicadas.
