Gigantic rocks lying on top of each, other form caves and represent the ideal shelter for our house reef inhabitants.
The main attraction are our 1.5m tame groupers that have had their territory here for many years. In addition, large schools of fish are constant companions.
Big amber mackerels and barracudas make their rounds in the open water.
Cave:
A cave is easily accessed during your dive as there are no diversions and the exit is visible at all times.
The cave has a length of approx. 50m and the entrance area lies at a depth of only 12m.
This depth is also the maximum depth of this dive. At the end you will find a large air-dome in which you can dive up out of the water.
The cave inhabitants include, among others: Canarian lobsterettes, various species of prawns, forkbeards and slipper lobsters. Once in a while you can witness a large monk seal.

Shoals of triggerfish and schools of barracudas make their rounds in this area.Another attraction is the appearance of the four moray species of Madeira. With a bit of luck, you will meet stingrays that glide through the water or lie motionless in the sand.
