About This Dive Spot
The Blade is a unique dive site characterized by a reef formation that rises to 8 meters and then drops steeply on either side to approximately 35 meters. The structure extends from the shore outwards, culminating in a pronounced horseshoe slope that descends beyond 50 meters. The varied underwater topography, combined with the proximity to deeper waters, provides opportunities to encounter pelagic species such as rainbow runners and mackerel. Among the rocky crevices, divers may also spot pipefish, seahorses, and frogfish.
