Acceso: Desde barco
Titulación mínima: Advanced Open Water Diver o equivalente
Profundidad: 21-22m
Composición del fondo: Fango y rocoso.
Vida marina: Especies típicas del Mediterráneo. Esta inmersión es una barra de piedra bastante estrecha, en algunos puntos de metro y medio y en otros de 5m de ancho, pero es muy larga (más de 200m) y tiene muchas grietas donde se ven bastantes congrios. También necesitamos tener una buena técnica de buceo puesto que el fondo fuera de la barra es de arena fangosa.
