ReportPerpendicular to the shore, one generally heads southward, where the maximum depth is reached most quickly. In this direction, the rock formations are also the most prominent. Here and there, patches of sandy bottom alternate with rocky blocks; however, if one swims eastward almost immediately after descending to about 5 meters, the depth soon shallows. If this shallow area is passed while continuing east, the seabed opens up to a more distinct sandy bottom interspersed with boulders. It is advisable to use a compass, as the area is not particularly easy to navigate.
The species that are almost always found here include large quantities of six-rayed blennies and clusters of mysid shrimp. There is also a significant presence of bladder wrack, saw wrack, and tangled wrack. Flatfish such as common plaice, redfish, and turbot are frequently encountered. Other common species include shrimp, black blennies, small cod, and jellyfish. Occasionally, schools of roach, herring, or perch can be seen, along with solitary pike, needlefish, eel, sea trout, lesser pipefish, and common blenny. Visibility ranges from 2 to 10 meters, typically between 3 and 5 meters. The current is never strong.
Photography opportunities:
There are good chances for fish portraits or macro shots of small creatures among the seaweed. Wide-angle shots can be taken in the shallow areas or among the large boulders from the Ice Age that form the underwater landscape.
This site is suitable year-round but is particularly recommended in the summer when the steps are installed, preferably in early summer when several species are in breeding colors and present in large numbers. It is also good for night dives.
