    StandoutDramatic cave topography

    Cominotto Arch is a straightforward dive, well-suited for a relaxed afternoon. We usually drop in here when the boat traffic around the Blue Lagoon gets a bit much, offering a quieter alternative. The arch itself is a neat swim-through, draped with sunset cup coral, and we often spot painted combers darting in and out of the crevices. Keep an eye out for slipper lobsters tucked away, and the bushy coral seems to be a favourite haunt for ornate wrasse. It’s a pleasant spot, no big thrills, but consistently delivers a calm dive with some solid Mediterranean reef life.

    Safety Notes

    Overhead environment - never enter without proper cave/cavern training, redundant equipment, and a guideline.
