This dive site, Putti's Place, is a challenging shore dive located deeper than the Goes lock, characterized by potentially strong and variable currents and a unique underwater topography. Navigation requires careful use of a compass due to various breakwaters preventing a simple parallel swim to the shore. Divers quickly encounter a wall that drops from a shallow entry to approximately 25 meters and beyond, making precise navigation crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience.
The marine life at Putti's Place is notable, particularly for small creatures. Cuttlefish are a major highlight and can be admired during springtime, often congregating for breeding. While specific fish species are not detailed, the site's habitat along the wall and breakwaters likely supports a variety of local fish and invertebrate life typical of temperate coastal waters, offering good opportunities for macro photography.
The best time to visit Putti's Place is in spring, specifically to witness the cuttlefish. The dive site is considered most beautiful between 10 and 25 meters, offering diverse sights. Divers should be well-prepared for variable currents, cold water, and plan their dive carefully, especially regarding compass navigation. Freedivers capable of handling currents and depth can also enjoy the wall and its marine inhabitants, but caution is advised.
