This dive site, Biboz, is a prominent underwater rock formation located off the coast of Italy, with its top starting at 38 meters and descending to a maximum dive depth of 49 meters (the rock extends to 52 meters). The dive plan is relatively simple in execution, typically involving circumnavigating the large rock at various depths, offering a dynamic and engaging underwater journey for experienced divers.
Divers at Biboz can expect a rich display of Mediterranean marine life. Common encounters include lobsters, moray eels, and conger eels dwelling within the rock's crevices. Small shrimps are often spotted, and clouds of vibrant anthias frequently swirl around the rock. Notably, two large groupers are known to occupy dens here during specific times of the year, adding to the allure of the site.
Given the significant depth, Biboz is best suited for advanced divers with deep diving experience and excellent buoyancy control. A typical dive lasts 20 minutes or more, depending on the diver's gas configuration and specific dive plan. While no specific 'best time to visit' is mentioned, observing the groupers would likely be seasonal. The site promises a rewarding experience for those seeking deep exploration and diverse marine encounters in the Ligurian Sea.
