The Cliff.
A drop-off with its edge at about 10 m and its foot at 40 m. Schools of fish gather along the edge, holes in the rock shelter groupers and lobsters, and the centre describes it as one of the places where it sees the most marine life. Divers can follow the wall to the small entrance of the Temple.
All seventeen deep courses I taught at Fiskardo were run here.
What's down there.
- Drop-off from about 10 m to 40 m
- Rock formations with holes and recesses
- Route along the wall to the Temple's small entrance
- The Barge wreck (sank 2008) lies between the Cliff and the Cathedral
- Large schools of fish along the edge
- Groupers
- Lobsters
- Sea hares
- Mediterranean monk seal (rare sightings)
The edge of the cliff is at about 10 m and the bottom at 40 m; the centre gives the maximum as 'adjustable from 12 to 40 metres'. The same page calls it a 30 m drop-off, which matches the 10 m edge and 40 m foot.
The centre does not say how this site is reached; it says most of its sites are reached by boat from Fiskardo harbour in under 20 minutes, and describes the sea as calm and often current-free, with visibility that can reach 40 m. Because depth can be set anywhere from the 10–12 m edge down to 40 m, the site covers the whole PADI Deep Diver range (18–40 m) as well as shallower dives along the top. In Peter's account all 17 deep courses he ran were held here.
115 dives.
From the log — the dates follow the pattern I dived, so read them as representative rather than exact.
