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 shallower formations and deeper boulder fields are different dive objectives. Agree a defined profile with the boat operator instead of following the whole descending site.
What to see
- The upper reef — The shallower area contains an arch and cave features.
- Boulders below — Larger blocks and caverns form part of the deeper terrain.
- The descending wall — The seabed continues deep; the full site depth is not a recommended profile.
Features and marine-life sightings depend on the agreed route and conditions.
THE WAY IN
Getting there & access
Arrange boat access
The site reference lists boat-only access. The map point identifies the dive site offshore, not a place to board. Confirm the departure harbour, transfer and pickup with your dive centre.
Map reference: 36.0236° N, 14.2165° E · Exact. The underwater point is separate from the boat boarding location.
Plan for the day you go
Check the current regional wind and sea outlook, then agree the entry, exit, route and required experience with a local operator. Regional forecasts do not measure cave surge, currents, visibility, water quality or closures.
Cave and overhead access requires an on-site assessment and appropriate training and equipment.
