Underwater profile

Big plateau with a lot of seagrass up to 10 meters, full of fishes in summer and toad mating grounds in spring. Ideal for beginner divers.

Big boulders from 20 to 40-60 meters, in big parts covered by mud and looking like stone walls, they form a complex underwater landscape that might be tricky to navigate - always set up your compass!

On the most eastern boulder, in the 43 meters deep, you can find a small stalactite. It’s easy to miss, especially when water clarity is limited.
