About the site

How the dive goes

The descent is easy: you go down an anchor line to 16 metres, which gives the whole group a fixed reference and takes the guesswork out of the first minutes. From there the wall drops vertically to 39 metres.

The wall is undulating rather than flat, and it is dotted with holes full of various marine organisms, sea fans among them. Near the end of the wall a large metal anchor rests on the bottom, and it makes a natural turn point for the dive. An average dive lasts about 45 minutes.

Who this site suits

The site is for Advanced divers with a dive logged within the past three months, and it carries a small surcharge for the distance.

A vertical wall is easy to navigate, because you keep it on one side and always know the way back. It is less forgiving with buoyancy: with no bottom under you, small errors turn into quick changes of depth, and the deeper you are, the faster that happens. If you are steady in the water, the wall is the best part of this site.
