About this dive site
This dive site offers a unique experience with contrasting seabed features. The area begins with a sandy bottom, providing a gentle introduction to underwater exploration. Just a few meters away, a rocky bed emerges, creating a transitional zone. This proximity allows divers using a punt (a small flat-bottomed boat) to easily access an adjacent area teeming with marine life. It's a fantastic location for observing diverse aquatic species.
