About this dive site

This dive site offers a remarkably calm and accessible environment, ideal for snorkelers, those beginning their diving journey, or returning to the sport after a break. The shallow areas are teeming with marine life, including rabbitfish and bream. A striking white marble shark sculpture adds an artistic element and can be surprising for new divers. For experienced explorers, there's a rewarding array of underwater features. An old wooden wreck lies at approximately 22 meters, showing signs of age and scattered debris. Deeper down, at around 28 meters, you’ll discover a small reef renowned for its friendly striped groupers and a diverse collection of broken amphorae. Also at 28m, an artificial reef constructed from sheet metal provides further exploration. The seabed is primarily soft sand, providing habitat for gobies and their associated shrimp. It's impossible to fully capture all the treasures in one dive – a testament to its richness. Visibility is excellent.
