About this dive site

This dive site is located in the Mediterranean Sea and offers a spectacular underwater experience. The coastline features amazing natural formations, including caves, arches, and impressive rock structures that descend to a depth of 50 meters. Divers frequently encounter groups of groupers, schools of seabream, and occasionally shoals of amberjacks as they forage for food. A highlight of this dive is the exploration of the Shrimps’ Cave at approximately 40 meters. This cave provides shelter to a large population of shrimps, along with some lobsters and slipper lobsters. This site is recommended for experienced divers due to its depth and potential challenges. Upon exiting the water, you'll be treated to beautiful light effects illuminating the underwater landscape.
