Diving in marine capes and tails
Exploring vertical marine terrains such as capes and tills and what distinguishes them as exceptional diving sites.
The capes and rills are some of the most exciting diving sites because they bring together different types of life in a narrow space.
What are thiols and heads
Thelols are masses of coral rock that rise from the sea floor. The cape is the rocky ridge that protrudes from the bottom to approach the surface. Both have nutritious streams and large fish around them.
Why attract huge marine life
The rising currents around this terrain raise nutrients from the depths, attracting small fish and then larger ones to catch them, thus forming a food chain at one point.
Diving tips in these areas
- Forecast and plan for currents around theiluls and headlands
- Approach from the side facing the current and go around the tail
- Keep an eye on the top as well because big fish are flying over these areas
The best times to visit Thelol
The hours of dawn and the end of the day, when marine life is active in these areas, provide the best experience.
A single phyla may carry more diversity than kilometers of flat reefs.
