Octopus, scorpionfish, nudibranchs, damselfish, wrasse, and sea bream are just a few of the fascinating species you can encounter during your dive. The highlight of Sugar Cone is its magnificent wall, which drops down to a maximum depth of 40m. To fully appreciate this stunning underwater landscape, swim alongside the wall, keeping it on your right side.

As you venture deeper, you'll be captivated by the vibrant colors of the sponges that adorn the wall. Keep a keen eye out for the various species of nudibranchs that make their home on these sponges. Exploring the cracks in the wall near the plateau, where you can anchor safely, adds an extra dimension to your dive and can be done during your safety stop.
