This dive site offers an open-sea experience, characterized by a feeling of depth and the intriguing sight of a mooring line lost in the blue. While not considered a challenging dive for experienced divers, it requires some prior knowledge due to potential strong currents at the bottom, sometimes necessitating stops in drifting blue zones. The seabed is rich with historical artifacts – remnants of several old fishing boats that were intentionally discarded by their owners during the first decade of the 21st century. Divers can expect to encounter large schools of barracuda, moonfish, and impressive scorpionfish amongst these underwater ruins. Rays and stingrays also inhabit this area. This dive provides a unique opportunity to explore a submerged historical landscape teeming with marine life.
