About this dive site

This dive site offers a fascinating underwater experience. The dive begins in a small bay characterized by a white sandy bottom, gently sloping down to approximately 4 meters. From this initial area, the seabed transitions to rocky formations where you can frequently observe pairs of 'gallinelle' (a type of sea slug) and young octopuses. The seafloor continues its gradual descent until reaching around 14 meters, marked by some sizable rocks. Beyond this point, a wall extends downwards with a maximum depth of approximately 22 meters. This wall serves as a passage route for various pelagic fish, and particularly during September, opportunities to encounter these larger marine creatures are abundant.
