This dive site, known as the 'Point of No Return', is a prominent rock finger at Esparta Island's west end. The dive typically begins by heading west to 'Big Rock', then turning north to 'Little Rock', before ascending east through a horseshoe inlet. Divers then complete a safety stop and return to the boat via a beautiful gulley. Its name likely refers to its position as a clear turn-around point in the dive plan, defining a specific route.
The site is rich in marine life, particularly attracting larger pelagic species. Divers can expect to encounter Denton, Tuna, Barracuda, and Amberjacks, all of which are common in these waters. Additionally, the intricate rock formations provide excellent habitat for numerous Moray Eels, as well as a variety of other reef fish and invertebrates, contributing to a vibrant underwater ecosystem.
While specific best times are not provided, the Mediterranean diving season generally runs from late spring to early autumn for optimal conditions. This site is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers due to its varied depths and interesting topography. Divers should be comfortable with navigation due to the described route, and freedivers can explore the shallower gulley and rock formations.
