grotto and crevices where a lot is to be discovered. Located favourably in the stream shadow, therefore, also very suitable for beginners.
The reef inhabitants include: parrot fishes, trigger fishes, trumpet fishes, puffer fishes, morays, groupers and a great variety of small animals.

A semicircular reef with a large number of fishes, 5 - 25 m deep.
There is an opening In the middle through which you can dive to the outside.
The beautiful domestic reef is inhabited by stingrays lying in the sand, large schools of fishes and a wide field of sand eels.

Cave tunnel: Der Höhlentunnel
An approx. 50 m long cave in a depth of only 12 m easy to dive into also for beginners.
Inside is a large air bubble to come up. The cave inhabitants such as locus lobsters, reef lobsters, prawns and forkbeards can be observed very well in the beam of light. Now and then you can see one of the rare atlantic monk-crawls.
