This dive suits both less experienced and advanced divers. You can follow the ridge without going deeper than 18 m and admire the coralligenous formations that dominate the whole area. In the warm months young groupers peer out of the cracks in the wall, and at the right time of year amberjacks are a regular sight.

The dive for experienced divers reaches 40 m, where large boulders usually shelter lobsters and sea bream; continuing along the wall, the diver discovers a mix of yellow gorgonians and cracks full of coralligenous life hiding groupers and sea bream.

Both the deep section and the shallow part of this wall are full of nudibranchs, Parazoanthus and Astroides, which is why this dive is a favourite of underwater photographers and marine biology enthusiasts.
