Additional Information
English (Translate this text in English): The Tower is what is left of an old cable car system that brought iron ore from a mine in the mountains to waiting barges off shore. The rock and concrete piling is still in tact with many holes for eels and various fish to live in. There is also the remains of the crane arm sunk in about 30 feet of water. A short distance away is a sunken barge that presumable was used to transport the ore. We saw Moray and Conger Eels, several octopus, Wrasses, and Scorpionfish along with many typical Mediterranean fish. Overall, this was an interesting site with vis as the primary challenge. Bring a compass.

Explored the tower by circumnavigating it once. Vis was not good, so we had some trouble finding the anchor line. Rylie got cold toward the end, so we came up with 100 bar of air. Despite all of this, it was a good dive. We

My daughter and I are going to dive with "happy divers" out of Marbella, Spain. She wants to take the National Geopraphic specialty and I'm looking forward to my first dive in the Med.
