After descending onto the reef, you will follow it out to the rocks which give the site its name. They protrude several metres above the surface and up to 14m below the surface. A channel is formed between the rocks and the cliff face.
You will first swim on the outside of the rocks at 14 to 16m, where a sea bream the Greeks call "sargos" is often seen lurking close to the rocks. As soon as they see the first diver, the zoom away to some hiding place inside the rocks. Below the rocks is limestone reef, sandy patches and sea grass. Swimming past the rocks, you will find the cliff wall. Initially it is 16m at the base, but soon slopes deeper and deeper to over 40 metres. Open Water divers will follow the wall at 18m. Advanced divers who descend to 30m will find an old trawler net on the wall which is now home to scores of feather duster fanworms and makes a great photograph.
When the first diver reaches 100bar, its time to turn around and the group ascends to 12m or so and follows the wall back. This time you swim through the channel between the land and rocks and have a good chance of seeing larger group hiding between the boulders on the sea floor, before following the reef back to the boat.
