About this dive site

This dive site presents a visually striking underwater landscape. The seabed is characterized by large boulders arranged between the west and east, creating walls, roofs, and ravines. This rocky terrain offers numerous paths for exploration, allowing divers to thoroughly investigate every corner of this remarkable backdrop. The depth ranges from 20 to 50 meters, providing ample opportunity for discovery. Dominating the scene are giant red gorgonians (Paramuricea clavata) which contrast beautifully with sponges, notably Aplysina aerophoba, displaying a vibrant yellow hue throughout the environment – a truly intense and saturated color palette. Due to conservation efforts, access to the westernmost boulders is restricted; divers are advised not to exceed zone A (the integral reserve), as doing so would result in penalties. The overall experience promises a rich and colorful dive.
