    Wildcat has a real wild feel, probably why it got the name. We love this site for its exposed, rugged character. It’s not about gentle drifts here; it's about getting stuck into a proper Mediterranean dive. Dropping down, the rock formations are the immediate star – sharp, dramatic, and covered in those deep red gorgonian fans. We’ve found the light plays tricks around the deeper ledges, creating incredible shadows where big groupers often lurk. Keep an eye out for the smaller stuff too, especially the Devonshire cup corals tucked into crevices, glowing orange against the rock. Currents can pick up, so it's a dive for those comfortable with a bit of a push, maybe intermediate upwards. That movement, though, means you often get schooling barracuda flashing past, and we’ve even had fleeting glimpses of sunfish out in the blue. For us, Wildcat is a Medes classic, a site that reminds you why you got into diving in the first place.
