About this dive site
This dive site, named for its resemblance to a small harbor, offers an engaging underwater experience. The dive begins at a depth of -7 meters and descends to a maximum of -30 meters, revealing a rocky seabed with contrasting features. You'll encounter vertical rock formations that slope down to sandy areas, interspersed with gentle gravel beds and steeper rock outcrops composed of smaller stones. This varied topography creates striking light contrasts throughout the dive. Scattered throughout the depths between -14 and -18 meters are patches of Posidonia seagrass meadows. The area is a habitat for territorial animals such as bristled pricklefish, moray eels, groupers, and occasionally mero rays. It's an interesting dive with a spectacular underwater landscape.
