La Dania's Leap is not a place where you get in and out: you leap from the rock shelf and drift with the current to Karpata, a good kilometre to the south. There is no exit here. Anyone who does not arrange the plan with two cars or a pick-up point should not enter the water here.
La Dania's Leap is a shore dive for experienced divers on the north-west coast: a leap from the rock shelf and a drift dive with the current to Karpata, with no exit of its own.
Right beneath the leap a steep wall begins with sea fans, vase sponges and black coral, running beyond forty metres. On the way to Karpata you pass overhangs with lobster and moray. Tarpon and jacks hang above the edge.
In a current running to the south and flat water on the rock shelf. Judge first where you get out, then whether you go in.
There is no exit: the dive ends at Karpata, up the steep steps there. In a turning current you do not arrive where you want. The leap is irreversible. Parking on the verge, no shade, no water, no toilet.
Decisions on diveability, technique and health belong with STINAPA, a dive school or a doctor. This page only describes the conditions.
The site is named after a resident of the area and appears on every map as a departure point, not a destination. Together with Oil Slick Leap it is the island's best-known leap dive.
