This dive site is located on an island, earning its name from the distinctive characteristic of that point – one of the most well-known and frequently dived locations. The maximum depth reaches approximately 15 meters, with dives typically occurring at depths between 8 and 10 meters, occasionally extending to 15 meters near the tip of the island. The seabed is covered in zoanthids, commonly known as ‘sea anemones’. Within a sheltered area lies the wreck of the Granada, an old fishing boat that sank due to engine failure in a south-facing wind channel. Exploring this wreck often reveals horsehead coral (calcareous algae). Green sea turtles are frequently spotted in this area.
