This dive
site is easy to reach with its location just west of
Kyrenia. It is a relaxing dive site for the second dive
of the day or perhaps for a night dive. The site will
appeal to all levels of divers.
The reef
has a maximum depth of 18 meters. It is composed of
nepture grass on the north end and rocks on the south
end. The neptune grass begins after the sand at the
north end of the reef. The reef area has a diameter of
aproximately 100 meters.After you
enter the water, you can approch the reef from any
direction you desire. The rock formations are large and
interesting for exploring. They contain a multitude of
locust lobster, octopus, red mullets and goby fish. We
have also come across green and loggerhead turtles
feeding and stingrays hiding in the sand.If you
move away from the rocks towards the nepture grass, be
sure to pay attention to the sand bottom. We have
spotted little conger eels, sea stars, crabs, painted
wrasse and fan mussels.
As you
approch the edges of the neptune grass look closely and
use your torch in the grass. We have found sea horses,
sea centipedes, shrimp, baby cuttle fish and
nudibranchs.Whether
you dive this site day or night, you will be pleased
with the consistency of the marine life. You will have
to fin quietly, be patient and use your light to
penetrate the darker reaches of this rich dive location.
The name
of this dive site, Lost, has several origins. The one
that we experienced was the bad luck of a fellow diver.
Upon entering the water our intrepid diving buddy had
his very expensive dive computer slide from his wrist
and sink into the neptune grass. It was never found.
Needless to say, our diving friend has his own
repertoire of descriptive words for the Lost dive site.
Enjoy - you may get lucky and find a dive computer! |
