Entering from the boat, you descend into 6m and swim across the shallow reef. Many bream, parrotfish and shoals of mullet can be seen here. Swimming into open water, descending gradually over rocks and grass levelling off at 18m (ideal for open water divers). In amongst the rocks and sand are numerous ancient Greek Amphoras encrusted with sponges and corals.
Following the ancient pottery we start to ascend along the reef past the biggest amphora, an almost complete piece 1m tall. Embedded in the rocks here is a huge old anchor. Up and over a huge bank of sea grass teeming with Damsel fish towards the first cave entrance. We enter the cave at a depth of 5m, no need for torches as a hole in the top casts rays of light everywhere exposing thousands of Cardinal fish, an amazing array of colored sponges and soft corals offering fantastic photo oppurtunities. |
