This dive site offers a varied underwater experience accessible from both land and by boat. The initial area, reachable by boat directly on the wall, features a gentle slope descending to a maximum depth of 16 meters. This section is rich in marine life including Nudi Branchi, Octopus hatching during its reproductive period, Conger eels, Moray eels, Cuttlefish, scorpion fish, and Sciarrani. Moving away from the wall, the seabed transitions towards deeper waters reaching up to 24 meters. Here, large rock formations provide shelter for species like Banded Saraghi, Major Saraghi, and Corvine. Exploring further into the deepest area reveals small sand quarries inhabited by sizable mullets and cuttlefish. The site provides a dynamic underwater environment suitable for divers of varying experience levels.
