Octopus Island
★★★★★
(486)
A small but fascinating rock formation surrounded by sandy bottom, rich in marine life and perfect for underwater photographers. Its sheltered position, excellent visibility and easy diving conditions make it a top spot for relaxed dives at all levels. Maximum depth: around 13–16 metres.
Besides reef fish, you’ll spot nudibranchs, baby angelfish and boxfish, stingrays in the sand, a resident green turtle – and, with luck, a hidden octopus.
