Before you arrive

Access notes

Use current managing-operator boat access and any required protected-area permit. Confirm route, guide, recall procedure, oxygen, communications and emergency plan. No database boat-to-site relationship is asserted.

Plan within your training

Conditions and hazards

Changing wind and sea state, surge, current, surface traffic and cold seasonal water; maintain team contact, gas reserve and DSMB/surface procedures. Arch, cavern, cave or tunnel features create overhead hazards. Do not penetrate without suitable training, continuous guideline, redundant gas and lights; open-water divers must remain outside with a direct ascent. Confirm protected-area authorization and active mooring rules. Do not anchor on, touch, feed, collect or disturb Posidonia, coral, wreckage or wildlife.

Facilities and support

Managing operators advertise guides, boats or shore support, rental equipment and training; availability is not guaranteed at the site. Verify current fills, oxygen, communications, permits and evacuation arrangements.

Independent resource notice

This record is a starting point for independent verification. Access, closures, moorings, weather, currents, depth, visibility, operator availability, and site conditions can change without notice. Confirm current information with the responsible operator, property owner, managing authority, or another qualified local source before planning or attempting a dive.
