It’s a good spot to take your time looking for smaller stuff amongst the seagrass beds, particularly the cymodocea and thalassia, which you don’t always see. Currents are generally mild, making this a comfortable dive for those looking for a relaxed exploration rather than a high-octane pelagic encounter.
