La Dania's Leap dive site

Overview

Description

La Dania’s Leap is a drift dive site suitable for experienced divers due to its tricky entry and exit. It is highly recommended having a trained guide for this dive. Divers enter the water at La Dania’s and, due to there being no exit at this site, drift/swim to the next dive site - Karpata - where they will make their exit. This is a popular way to explore two awe-inspiring dive sites in one dive! La Dania’s Leap is marked by a pile of stacked rocks at the pathway you will follow down to the water. This can be an easy site to miss so make sure to drive slowly and keep an eye out as the road at this point is a one-way and you will not be able to turn around. Once you have found the path you can drop off your dive gear, park your car at Karpata and walk back to La Dania’s (approx. 5 min walk).
