This dive site, known as Saraghi-Imperia, is characterized by its unique topography of dry rocks rising from a poseidonia garden, set against a sandy seafloor. The site is particularly noted for its abundance of 'fake red Mediterranean coral', creating a vibrant underwater tableau. Its relatively shallow depth and calm conditions make it ideal for divers of all experience levels, including beginners. There is no specific historical information or unique navigation challenges beyond exploring the rock formations and surrounding seagrass.
The marine life here is primarily focused on the rich growth of poseidonia seagrass and the 'fake red Mediterranean coral' (likely referring to a gorgonian species). These habitats typically support various small fish species, crustaceans, nudibranchs, and other macro invertebrates. While not a site for large pelagics, the coral and seagrass beds are teeming with smaller reef and sand-dwelling creatures, making it excellent for macro photography.
The site is suitable for night dives, offering a different perspective on its inhabitants as nocturnal creatures emerge. Its accessibility for divers with little experience makes it a great spot for training or relaxed dives. The best time to visit would generally align with the pleasant Mediterranean diving season, typically from late spring to early autumn, when water temperatures are warmer and conditions calmer. Freedivers will find the moderate depths and interesting features appealing for extended breath-hold exploration.
