This dive site offers a unique experience, particularly when influenced by a gentle sirocco wind. The descent begins gradually between rocky formations and sand, heading in a southerly direction. Divers can anticipate encountering schools of barracudas and smaller groupers as they progress further down. At approximately 38 meters, a captivating display awaits – a cluster of vibrant red gorgonians has long been the home of a beautiful Gorgon star, occasionally accompanied by a second specimen.
