About this dive site
This dive site is located off the coast of Denia, near Cape San Antonio. Access is gained via a buoy mooring in a protected cove, requiring prior authorization for diving. The area offers an exceptional underwater environment characterized by scattered rocks and a moderate depth of approximately 16 meters. A suggested route involves heading from the anchorage opposite the shore, gradually increasing depth until reaching a large, elongated rock formation to the right, which should then be circumnavigated. This dive provides opportunities for exploring diverse marine life including sea cicadas, gilthead bream, conger eels, groupers, and beautiful white gorgonian formations. The irregular arrangement of the rocks allows for considerable freedom in route selection. The visibility is good due to the calm waters and the protection afforded by the cove.
