Zoea

Zoea is our pick for a dive that delivers solid Mediterranean character. Drop down and you’re immediately into a habitat where rocky ledges give way to sandy patches, perfect for spotting the less flashy but equally fascinating critters. We love drifting over the sand, keeping an eye out for a marbled electric ray settled in or the flash of an Atlantic lizardfish shooting past. It's a prime spot for the macro enthusiast, too; we’ve spent happy minutes observing the delicate pulse of a mauve stinger or the intricate patterns of a Star ascidian clinging to a rock. It's a site that rewards a slow, observant dive. Forget the rush; instead, focus on the details. You might catch a greater weever half-buried, or a tiny Ringneck blenny poking its head from a crevice. We've often seen small schools of snapper here, and if you’re lucky, a barracuda might cruise by in the blue. For divers who appreciate the subtle beauty of the Med and prefer a relaxed pace, Zoea offers a genuinely engaging experience away from the busier spots.
