This dive site is a remarkable house reef located in Europe, often referred to as "Little Africa." It offers divers an exceptional experience with four distinct seabed areas within a single dive, spanning a depth range from 5 to 40 meters. The area boasts rich marine life due to the influence of consistent local currents, creating a haven for various species including octopus, moray eels, scorpion fish, lobsters, and tuna. The reef features captivating underwater landscapes, including a cave adorned with amphora fragments – remnants from ancient shipwrecks—alongside sandy bottoms and rocky formations. This combination provides ideal conditions for capturing stunning photographs and creating memorable diving experiences. It truly feels like an African underwater safari.
