Biotops

This dive site, Biotops, is located in Spain and offers a unique underwater experience exploring a series of artificial or naturally formed rock formations at a depth ranging from approximately 10 meters to a maximum of 21 meters. Divers descend and navigate through the interconnected blocks, carefully maneuvering around the structures to observe the abundant marine life within. The site's design encourages exploration, with divers discovering various nooks and crannies offering opportunities for close-up encounters with fascinating species. The marine life at Biotops is rich and diverse, showcasing typical Mediterranean species. Divers are likely to encounter lobsters, scorpions, groupers, dentex, snappers, and a variety of nudibranchs. The crevices and openings within the blocks provide ideal habitats for these creatures, offering excellent photographic opportunities. While larger pelagic species may not be as common, the diversity of smaller invertebrates and fish makes it an ideal site for macro photography. The best time to visit Biotops is likely during the warmer months (May-October) when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally better. Divers should always maintain good buoyancy control to avoid disturbing the delicate ecosystem and to ensure safe navigation through the blocks. Due to the depth and the requirement for careful navigation through the structures, it is not suitable for snorkeling or freediving. The use of Nitrox is recommended for longer bottom times to maximize exploration.
