About this dive site

This dive site is located in the Tuna Factory's bay, characterized by several underwater cliffs and walls that descend to approximately 40 meters from the shore. Adjacent to the factory lies a prominent wall featuring abundant life, including orange sponges encrusting a rock formation – this serves as an entrance to a submerged cavern. Within the cavern, a significant population of red shrimp thrives, alongside occasional larger redfish and mustelles seeking shelter among them. The seabed slopes gently from a plateau at around 9 meters depth, offering areas of both rock and sea grass. Divers can explore further up the wall to a step at roughly 30 meters, leading to another wall extending to approximately -27 meters and -18 meters on the same plateau, providing a return route. The area is known for encounters with squid, octopus, and moray eels.
