About this dive site

This dive site offers a rewarding experience for divers of all skill levels, provided they are comfortable within the specified depth range. The seabed consists primarily of sand, creating a unique environment where both rocky formations and marine life thriving in the sand coexist. A notable feature is the abundance of spirographs – fascinating gelatinous organisms often found near coastal areas. You’ll also likely encounter schools of sardines, common bream, and even baby barracuda, adding to the diversity of this underwater ecosystem. The depth range extends from 8 meters to 18 meters, making it accessible for beginners with appropriate experience. While depths may vary slightly due to topography, this area provides a stable diving environment suitable for various skill levels.
