Features

Wavelike, the gorges spread from the mainland to the open sea.

Our dive begins with a descent to 12m to the sandy seabed and then leads over a wall covered with colorful gorgonians into the first of the 4 gorges.

Between the rocky walls, one constantly hovers over sandy ground, so this area offers a very diverse habitat for various marine creatures.

In the many small caves and rock outcroppings, moray eels like Muraena helena, scorpion fish like Scorpaena scrofa and shrimp hide.

Those who take a little more time and take a closer look at the growth on the rocks will be rewarded with an encounter with the small, yet colorful nudibranchs (Nudibranchia) or even seahorses (Hippocampus) rewarded.
