Insel Faro

★★★★☆ (275)

Diving on the reef can be very difficult. It begins at a depth of 6 meters/18 feet and then slopes down in terraces to around 43 meters/145 ft meters. Due to the boat traffic during the season and the extreme currents, diving is often only possible outside of the high season and only for experienced divers.

At this dive site you will have the possibility to encounter school of damsel fishes, nudibranches and with some luck catfish eggs.
