Reefs & Caves (15–25 m):
Moving slightly deeper, the terrain becomes more dramatic, featuring rocky ridges (reefs) and small underwater caves. Typical species include yellow and orange sponges, small gorgonians, sea squirts, lobsters, squat lobsters hidden in crevices, schooling damselfish, and small anthias around reef edges. These areas are perfect for intermediate divers exploring natural formations.
Marine Life (20–40 m):
At greater depths, divers can encounter gorgonians (*Eunicella cavolini*, *E. singularis*), red and yellow sponges, dead man’s fingers soft corals, anthias, large scorpionfish, dusky groupers, lobsters, cave shrimps, and spider crabs.
