Dive Description

With the from the zodiac (drift dive) on favour, diving will be a relaxing promenade on the wide reef covered by black corals and gorgonians. During this peaceful diving is suggested to get a look to the blue, where some times barracudass and tunas are passing. The surface is divided in two stumps: one in direction to south, to open sea, and the other to north, to a sandy terrace 10-25 metres wide with many madreporic formations, porcupine fish, moray eels and flathead fish. Many napoleon fishes will be rounding in the last part of the diving until the mooring-buoys. The best hours are around midday, when the sun light-up this magnificent underwater scenery.
