About this dive site
This dive site begins with an immersion over a rocky seabed at a depth of 5 to 6 meters. Divers descend along vertical walls adorned with vibrant color, leading to a sand circus reaching 16 meters. A natural stone archway provides access through the circus to a sandy tongue extending towards a maximum depth of 31 meters. Here, large gorgonians thrive alongside other marine life such as congers, moray eels, octopuses, groupers, and more.
