La Losa de Calarreona

About this dive site

This dive site, La Losa de Calarreona, is located south of La Isla del Fraile and Cabo Cope in Spain. The dive begins from a boat, anchoring some distance from the coast. The descent follows the anchor line to the seafloor, offering a gradual introduction to the underwater landscape. This site is known for its varied marine life, and the underwater topography provides a diverse environment for exploration.

The site is abundant in marine life. Large groupers are a highlight, along with schools of croakers. Smaller inhabitants include vibrant nudibranchs, large conchs, and other invertebrates. There are also reports of sightings of sunfish and sea eagles. Various other fish species, including castanets, julias, and fredis, are also common.

The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months (summer and early autumn) when visibility is generally best, and marine life is more active. Divers should be aware of their depth and dive within their limits. The site is suitable for intermediate-level divers due to the maximum depth and the importance of managing the descent along the anchor line. It may be less suitable for freediving due to the depth.
