the underwater environment

The striking topographic structure as seen above sea-level continues under the water. There is an abundance of caves, holes, grottoes and crevices, all offering ideal living conditions for a rich diversity of animal life..

Meet the ubiquitous Octopus, the sleepy Cardinal fish, colourful Wrasse, Damsel Fish and Painted Comber. The sharp eyed will also spot Stingrays, Moray Eels, Seahorses, Peacock Flounders, Scorpion Fish and the occasional John Dory.

At the larger end of the scale Grouper, Jack and Tuna can be seen as well as shoals of Barracuda.
