About this dive site

This dive site is located in a second cove, mooring at the buoy. The seabed presents a varied landscape of rocky formations interspersed with sandy clearings. The rock arrangement creates numerous routes for divers, though a suggested path involves heading approximately 330 degrees from the anchorage. Initially, divers can explore areas teeming with life such as octopuses, croakers, serranos, and sea cicadas, along with abundant backlights and passageways within the rocks. The route leads to a distinctive large mushroom-shaped stone, which should be circled before continuing towards 240 degrees, gradually descending in depth as the coastline approaches. During this descent, remnants of a ship and an encrusted anchor can be observed. Further navigation towards the coast, heading at 220 degrees, will reveal the entrance to a cave. Within the cave, a maximum depth of approximately 30 meters is reached, offering views both outwards and back towards the boat. Returning to the surface, divers can follow the course back towards the anchorage.
