Alaties.
A shore site with cliffs above and below the water, offering three dives. The easy route leaves from the beach to a Posidonia meadow (15 m), and a second follows an underwater cliff (40 m). The third starts with a 6 m jump from a cliff, follows a rock face to a disarmed Second World War naval mine and a three-chamber grotto, and ends with a five-minute walk back along a pebbly path (20 m).
What's down there.
- Shore entry from the beach
- Posidonia seagrass meadow
- Underwater cliff to 40 m
- Disarmed Second World War naval mine
- Grotto with three chambers
- 6 m cliff-jump entry on the advanced route
- Posidonia oceanica (Neptune grass)
Three routes: an easy beach dive to a seagrass meadow (15 m); a dive along an underwater cliff (40 m); and an advanced route with a cliff-jump entry (20 m).
Shore access. The beach route (15 m) suits beginners and Open Water training; the cliff route (40 m) covers the PADI Deep range; the advanced route needs good physical condition because of the cliff-jump entry and the walk out.
How it got there.
A disarmed Second World War naval mine lies on the advanced route (centre).
33 dives.
From the log — the dates follow the pattern I dived, so read them as representative rather than exact.
