Compact cove dive with rich Mediterranean fish life.
Les petites Tinyes is a compact Mediterranean cove site with layered rock heads, relief changes, and dependable fish life. It suits divers who enjoy moving slowly through detailed terrain and reading small habitat shifts rather than covering a long, simple route. The dive rewards good trim, careful buoyancy, and a deliberate look into the rockwork.
