Before you arrive

Access notes

Boat access is described by the current exact-site source. Book through a current local operator and confirm permit, vessel, pickup, guide, recall, 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, limited visibility, seasonal cold, entanglement and surface traffic; maintain team contact, gas reserve and DSMB/surface procedures. Do not anchor on, touch, feed, collect or disturb Posidonia, reef, wreckage, structures or wildlife.

At the site

Facilities and support

Current regional operators advertise guides, boats or shore support, rental equipment, fills and training; availability is not guaranteed at the site. Verify nitrox analysis where used, emergency 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.
