Who is this site for?
Our classification is: Very experienced divers. Certification and logged dives are not the only factors; recent experience, buoyancy, current comfort, cold tolerance and how you feel that day also matter. After a long break, an easy local check dive may be the better sequence.
Safety, depth and conditions
The typical range is 8–35 m, with current classified as strong, open water. These are not guaranteed daily values. Guide judgement, weather, tides and training limits determine route, maximum depth, turn criteria and any alternative site.
Photography & responsible diving
Match camera setup and subject choice to your buoyancy. Wildlife is never chased, touched, fed or moved for a photograph. At sandy macro sites we watch fin position and distance; at pelagic sites cleaning-station approaches remain clear.
The dive site is alive
No dive is ever a repetition.
Visibility, current, light and marine encounters change a site every day. Our guides read the conditions and plan the dive accordingly.
