About this dive site

This dive site is a sheltered cove, ideal for beginners and those seeking calmer conditions. The depth ranges from 2 to 10 meters, providing excellent visibility and a gentle slope suitable for initial underwater experiences. This cove benefits from protection from the west, minimizing the impact of rough seas. The seabed consists primarily of posidonia grass and sand, with a continuation of a nearby mountain extending down to approximately 10 meters. This area includes rocky outcrops interspersed with more posidonia growth. Divers can expect to encounter plentiful fish life, including large schools of sea bream, sea bass, and mojarras.
