The site attracts divers interested in protected Mediterranean reef life. Twelve species observations have been recorded here, giving you a sense of the marine biodiversity you might encounter. Community videos document what divers have found at depth, offering real-world insight into conditions and wildlife. The national park status means this is a conservation-focused zone—respect all rules to help protect the ecosystem.
