About this dive site

This dive site features a dramatic wall drop to a sandy bottom at 58 meters. The wall continues its descent, eventually transitioning to more sand. This location offers the opportunity to observe numerous colonies of Dendrophyllia ramea and Dendrophyllia cornigera – these delicate corals thrive from approximately 60 meters downwards, forming stunning, solitary gardens. The most impressive concentrations are found between 30 and 40 meters, where visibility is at its best. This area represents a unique habitat for these coral species within the Mediterranean Sea.
