About this dive site

This dive site, located on the western tip of El Toro Island, offers a compelling underwater experience. The area features a natural rock platform dropping to a maximum depth of 40 meters. Currents converge in this location, creating an abundant marine environment rich with life. Large rock formations and Posidonia meadows provide habitat for diverse species including groupers, amberjacks, and dentex. Divers can expect to witness a remarkable explosion of aquatic activity. Historically, the area is linked to the possible presence of a Balearic monk seal in a small cave near the anchorage – a reminder of the region's natural heritage.
