Steep shore wall with deep drop-off and rich wall life.
Punta od covika is a steep shore wall with a pronounced hump at the cape tip and an immediate drop into deep water. The site suits advanced divers and strong freedivers who want a close-in wall profile, careful route planning, and a chance to scan the rock face for shark egg cases, scorpionfish, moray eels, and other small predators and crustaceans along the slope.
Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
45m - 50m
Depth Note
Deepest peak is about 45 m; nearby walls drop below 50 m.
Best Season
Calmer summer and shoulder-season days, when the sea state is easier to read from shore.
Typical Conditions
A steep wall, fast depth gain, and a close-in route that rewards deliberate entry and controlled turn points.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Safety Notes
Depth exceeds 40 m and the wall drops beyond 50 m; plan gas, narcosis limits, and ascent conservatively.
Access Restrictions
Shore access is close in, but the site is best left to experienced divers and strong freedivers who are comfortable with deep wall profiles.
Legal Notes
Respect shoreline access rules, protected-area guidance, and any local coastal restrictions when approaching the cape.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Suitable for deeper wall/pinnacle-style scuba diving, with depths reaching at least ~45 m and walls dropping beyond 50 m.
Freediving
Experienced freedivers may find the shallow edge interesting on calm days, but the wall deepens quickly and demands strict limits.
Snorkeling
The shallow edge can be interesting on calm days, but the site is primarily a wall dive rather than a dedicated snorkel stop.
