It starts with a gentle swim, goes though an easy ‘chimney’ swim-through, and then just as you were wondering at all the fish, you come to a beautiful underwater arch. There were trumpetfish and bream swimming through this, hundreds of bogas and damselfish, some huge giant anemones. Then we went into an awesome underwater cavern where we found a red Canarian lobsterette and lots of red shrimps. The scenery on its own made a great dive but the sea life was also amazing.
