About this site
This dive site off Salina Island features dramatic volcanic rock formations and clear waters. Schools of barracuda and groupers patrol the area, while moray eels hide in crevices. The sloping seabed drops to 30 meters, with occasional mild currents. Visibility often exceeds 20 meters, making it ideal for spotting octopus and colorful nudibranchs. The volcanic origin creates unique underwater landscapes. Best dived in calm conditions.
