It's an easy dive site in every way, with limited currents, good parking facilities and a huge biodiversity. Vet's Park is mainly an evening or night dive site. When the beach guests return home, the divers arrive. The site has one exceptional aspect. Between mid-December and the beginning of March the annual 'squid run' takes place at this very location, a phenomenon that attracts divers from all over the world. Veteran's Park consists of three zones: The Wall, The Canyon and The Salad Bowl.
Particulars
