Known as Pontoon 16, this structure 40mts long and 17mts wide is a barge that was intentionally sunk in 2003 so people could dive into a sandy seabed in a relatively protected area.
Although recent, the entire structure is found covered by algae, fish and other species.
In the sandy bottom we can observe round Rays, Plaice, Lizardfish, as well as the schools of fish that we are able to see in the column of water.
