Wildcat

Wildcat, in the Medes Islands, is one of those sites that just feels… alive. You drop down into this labyrinth of rock formations and instantly feel the cooler thermoclines brushing past your face. We love how the light plays through the cracks, revealing massive schools of damselfish that scatter as you approach. Keep an eye out for the yellow clusters of Devonshire cup coral, they’re everywhere and provide a real pop of colour against the grey rock. Our favourite spot is usually around the deeper swim-throughs, where we often find nursehounds tucked away, their spotted skin blending in perfectly. It’s not a site for spotting big pelagics often, but the macro life, like those peculiar Hooded Shrimps, keeps us coming back. We’d suggest going early in the morning before the day boats crowd the area; it’s a much more peaceful experience. It’s a fantastic dive for anyone who enjoys exploring crevices and isn’t in a hurry to get anywhere fast.
