 Additional Information

English (Translate this text in English): The primary life here are Lobsters and Crabs. The lobsters were HUGE (2+ feet) and they were everywhere. There were many soft shell crabs 6-8 inches in diameter as well.

There are three primary items of interest here. The first one is a wreck suck just to the East of the tower on the second jetty. To access, enter from the first point, descend to 10M, and follow this line until the contour turns sharply to the south (150 meters of so) then get to about 8M and continue on the contour. You will get to the wreck before you know it. It's completely covered in shells and his home to Lobster, Crab, and Tadpole Fish. The wreck itself is a 5m metal boat that rests in 4-9 M of water. It’s upright, and sits at a 45 degree bow low attitude.

Secondly, there is a platform at 9M with a buoy. This is good for training etc and there is a railing around the platform. Head about 330 from the entry for 50 M or so. don't get below 9.5 M, if you miss it, turn Left and stay at 9M. You'll find it.

Finally, there is a wall of Reef-Balls to the south and east of the platform. These are like 3 foot metal whiffle balls and home to dozens of lobsters and crabs. Very interesting to explore and peek in all the holes.

Entry and exit are easy, just be careful as the rocks can get a bit slick.

One last note: Tanks can be filled 24/7 from an outside “vending machine” or automat located on the south end of the hotel/restaurant. The machine takes 0.50€ coins, and usually needs 5-6 to fill a 10L tank. Put the coins in one at a time, and you’ll get a “squirt” of air for each one. There is a pressure gage on the machine, but it seems to read a little low. In any event, the machine won’t fill past 200 bar, so the worst case is that you put in one coin too many, and get no more air.
