Description:
The boat anchors on the northern side of the dive site, facing Capo Boi. The seabed is flat enough to make it an ideal site for courses and training.
The dive begins when you go through an arch through a granite mass at a depth of 12 metres and then continues in a clockwise direction, keeping the reef on your right.
The seabed falls gradually away as the dive continues and is characterised by the increasing size of the granite forms you encounter. The walls of these masses are colonised by Eunicella and Paramuricea corals. As the dive continues, we encounter a growing number of ravines, some of which are big enough to pass through and where we can easily find sea cicalas (Scyllarides latus). The rock walls are in complete darkness and that makes it a perfect place for plants such as parazoanthus axinellae and makes for stunning photography. As you continue to follow the cliffs on your right, the dive gradually climbs until you find yourself on the granite platform where the boat is anchored.
Dive Information:
Position: a large granite loaf about 150metres off the western side of the ‘isola dei cavoli’. The dive site is easily recognised thanks to a thick layer of guana of gulls and cormorants who regularly visit the mass.it is protected from south-easternly winds and so is often practicable when other dives in the area are not
Seabed:scattered granite masses with seagrass in the lower areas.
Difficulty: low
Depth: from 5 to 25 metres
Current: possible in stromg northernly winds, often strong on the surface.
Visibility: excellent all year round
Maximum summer temperature: 22°C
Minimum winter temperature:13
Of particular interest:
The presence of caves and ravines where you can find colonies of corals, including paramuricea and eunicella on the eastern side at approx. 18m and parazoanthus in the semi-dark areas
Fish present:
Seasonal fish and crustaceans
