About this dive site

This dive site, Grand Cove, is a shallow, easily accessible location just a few minutes by boat from the coast. Divers typically anchor at a depth of 5 meters and then navigate seaward to explore interesting rock formations situated between 10 and 14 meters. The site is known for its excellent visibility, offering clear views of the underwater topography and making navigation straightforward.

The marine environment is rich with diverse life, including schools of maidens, elusive octopuses, camouflaged cuttlefish, and various species of bream. These creatures thrive amidst the expansive posidonia grasslands that beautifully encircle the prominent rock structures, providing shelter and foraging grounds for a variety of smaller marine organisms.

While specific peak seasons aren't mentioned, the clear waters of the Mediterranean generally offer good diving conditions from late spring to early autumn. Its shallow depths and calm environment make it perfectly suited for beginners and ideal for extended bottom times. It is also an excellent spot for freedivers and snorkelers to explore the vibrant shallow reef.
