This dive site, known as Monkey Island, is a small island owned by a Russian oligarch and featuring a bar constructed on the premises. The island gained its name due to an incident involving Fabrice, a well-known diving instructor, who was attacked by monkeys during an exploratory dive. Despite this somewhat unusual history, the location consistently offers excellent visibility and favorable conditions for both beginners and experienced divers alike. It’s a unique destination with a memorable story.
