Pepe’s Point

About this dive site

This dive site, Pepe's Point, is located at the edge of a cliff on an island platform where the Atlantic and Mediterranean meet. The entry is from a boat, without a reference buoy, at a depth of 6-8 meters. The cliff face descends to 22 meters, continuing to greater depths beyond the usual dive limit. Navigation involves staying close to the cliff face, paying close attention to depth and any potential currents. There is no known history or story specifically tied to this site that can be shared.

Marine life at Pepe's Point is diverse and abundant. Divers can expect to see groupers, schools of corvina (sea bass), lemon fish, barracudas, and lobsters. The various rock formations and depths may offer a variety of invertebrate life such as crustaceans, and smaller fish. The junction of the two seas may also provide for unique marine species.

The best time to visit Pepe's Point is likely during the warmer months (spring/summer) when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is usually better. Freedivers should exercise caution due to the depth and potential currents, planning dives carefully. Divers should be aware of the lack of a reference buoy, and the moderate current strength; good buoyancy control and experience with currents are recommended.
