Source-reported site depths, not a recommended dive profile. “+” is open-ended. A qualification label does not qualify a diver for cave or wreck penetration.
Get to know the place
The arch is described on the right side of the inlet. Entry and exit are not equivalent: the reference describes a platform or rock entry, followed by a rock-climb exit.
What to see
- A shallow inlet — The inner seabed is rocky with gravel before opening onto the outer reef.
- The natural arch — The reference places an arch on the right side of the inlet.
- Seagrass to sand — Posidonia meadows give way to sandy seabed farther offshore.
Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.
