The Abyss S’Esparta
★★★★☆
(97)
The Abyss is a platform that slopes out south to 13/15m from the island in a semi circle but with a clear wall drop off on the west side which descends to 22m, then much deeper. This makes it a great dive for beginners and intermediate divers, as well as a deep dive for well experienced divers.
This site varies a lot during the season. May to July you find octopus, amberjack, barracuda, morey eels, nudibranch, but later there are Denton, Tuna and other predatory fish.
