It is a simple and great dive for beginners. It starts on a rocky bottom at 5 meters deep next to the harbor and it continues towards the sandy bottom where we sometimes see butterfly ray (Gymnura altavela) and common stingray (Dasyatis pastinaca) going west where it is possible to see and follow the conjugation of the rocky and the sandy bottom. On the way back it is possible to pass through an arch that is associated to a small cave, where it is possible to see anemones (Telmactatis cricoides) atlantic dancing shrimp (Cyrtocinetes rigens), golden shrimp (Stenopus spinosus).
