About Hotel Ermitage

The entry to this scuba dive is located on the northern end of the beach.You can start your dive near the jetty,if you start at the southern end of the jetty,make your way to the northern end where you will come across a telephone box upon one of the poles at a depth of just under 10 meters.Carry on swimming with the slanted sea floor on your right shoulder,now the floor drops away some more and you can dive at a depth of around 14 meters (The thermocline is around 10 meters,so for those who do not enjoy the cooler waters it is possible to stay at a depth under 10 meters).After a short distance of swimming you will come across some dolls and a crib which lay on the sea bed. After a while you will come across some wooden poles sticking out of the sand bed,these are the remains of an old diving tower,near it there is also a series of concrete steps.You can continue from the diving tower till you reach some large rock walls at a depth of 35 meters,after this wall you will come to an area where the sea bed begins to ascend and you will slowly find yourself reaching shallower waters
