Bajo La Morra

About this dive site

This dive site, Bajo La Morra, consists of two prominent rocky outcrops located off the coast of Spain. The larger outcrop is conical in shape, while the smaller one extends like a tongue, creating a sheltered area popular with groupers. A steep gorge descends to a depth of 25 meters, potentially reaching deeper in some areas, and holds the remnants of an old anchorage. Divers can explore the varied topography of the two outcrops and the surrounding gorge.

The marine life here is abundant and varied. Large groupers are a common sight, along with pollock, and spits. Other species include brunettes, dentex, bream, oblong banks, and nudibranchs. The presence of white and yellow gorgonians suggests a healthy and colorful reef environment.

The best time to visit Bajo La Morra is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer) when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is better. Divers should check the weather conditions and current forecasts before diving, and experienced freedivers should respect the depth limitations and possible presence of currents. This dive site is less suited for beginners due to the presence of some depth and the potential for stronger currents.
