Why dive here
Mansel reef is a reef dive where divers can encounter sea turtles. Water ranges 17-27°C, warmest July, August, September.
Mansel Reef offers a typical Mediterranean dive, good for warming up after a break from the water. You’ll find some scattered hard corals and a few colourful sponges, with small shoals of damselfish fluttering around. It’s a pleasant, easy dive, probably best for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon in the water rather than big thrills.
