This dive site, Gruta del Ruso, offers a unique experience focused on a rocky wall and a captivating crevice. Divers navigate along the wall before entering the crevice, which always provides a visible exit towards the surface, ensuring a safe and engaging exploration. While lacking historical context, the main attraction within the crevice is the interplay of natural light projected from above, creating an unforgettable visual.
The marine life encountered at Gruta del Ruso is primarily found on the rocky wall, featuring species like pintos and maragotas. During the summer months, the wall is richly adorned with various algae, which gradually recede with the onset of autumn storms. The crevice itself is noted for having minimal marine life.
The best time to visit Gruta del Ruso depends on preference: summer offers lush algae growth on the wall, while autumn, post-storms, likely provides clearer views of the rock structures and light effects. This shallow site is ideal for both beginner divers and excellent for freedivers and snorkelers, who can fully appreciate the stunning light projections from above.
