Boulders, gentle drop-offs, and dense Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows define the underwater profile. The leeward side provides calm conditions ideal for check-out dives and training, while the deeper seaward faces feature rocky crevices shelter for Mediterranean macro life and hunting predators.
Extensive underwater boulder formations and fissures harboring octopus and moray eels
Expansive Posidonia seagrass beds serving as nurseries for juvenile fish
