About this dive site

This dive site, Isla Maria Claudia, offers a very calm and straightforward diving experience. Divers begin with a gentle descent down a cape, reaching a depth of 14 meters. From this point, the dive largely maintains a consistent depth, offering relaxed exploration. Towards the southernmost side of the island, the route descends slightly further to 18 meters, leading into an interesting canyon structure characterized by numerous holes and crevices.

The site is teeming with marine life, particularly within the protective holes and along the channel. Divers can expect to encounter various species such as Corvinas, Morays, and Octopus. The canyon and its channels are also home to impressive Conger eels and Lobsters, making it a rewarding spot for observing concealed fauna.

Given its calm conditions and shallow to moderate depths, Isla Maria Claudia is highly recommended for beginner divers and freedivers seeking an accessible and enjoyable underwater experience. The best time to visit would typically be during the warmer, calmer months of the Mediterranean to ensure optimal visibility and comfort.
