What it's like
The dive runs down a wall in stages, starting at 8 meters and going deeper than 30 meters, so one site gives more than one kind of dive.
Divers who go down the wall reach an ancient wreck, with broken amphorae and pottery scattered over a rock ridge. Most people dive here on a guided boat tour, where instructors run a training session before each dive.
Good to know
- Certified dives need a certification; discover-scuba suits those without one.
- Instructors give training sessions before each dive, so arrive ready to listen and check your gear.
