About this dive site

This dive site features floating structures known as Las Bateas. These platforms serve as nurseries for the European mussel (mejillón). A remarkable experience awaits divers, offering a unique perspective of these structures from beneath the sea. The interplay of light filtering through the water – creating ‘contraluces’ – adds to the visual appeal. Diverse marine life inhabits this area, making it a fascinating destination for exploration.
