    We found Dattier to be a decent dive, particularly if you're keen on exploring the shallower parts of the Medes Islands. The site itself isn’t a deep one, making it a good choice for newer divers or those who prefer longer bottom times. You’ll weave through rocky outcrops, spotting the usual Mediterranean suspects: plenty of schooling damselfish, wrasse, and sometimes an octopus tucked into a crevice. It’s a pleasant way to spend an hour underwater, a nice afternoon drift when the currents aren't picking up too much. For an area known for bigger pelagics, Dattier focuses more on the smaller, macro life.
