Atlantis is named after the radio masts that stood behind the coast road and were for years the landmark of this stretch. Underwater lies a broad sand flat, behind it a steep slope that drops away deep fast.
Atlantis is an advanced shore dive on the south coast: a sand strip with coral heads at five to eight metres and a steep slope to forty metres.
A shallow sand strip with scattered coral heads at five to eight metres, then a steep slope to forty metres with vase sponges and black coral. Rays on the sand; jacks and now and then barracuda in the blue.
In a moderate current you can use. In the morning, before the sand stirs up.
The current runs harder more often towards the southern point and can build during the dive. The slope drops away deep fast, so dive time is short. Verge along the coast road, no facilities.
Decisions on diveability, technique and health belong with STINAPA, a dive school or a doctor. This page only describes the conditions.
The masts of an international radio station stood on this spot for decades and were visible far out to sea. They are gone, but the dive name has stayed — as at more places along this coast.
