La Tixera

This dive site, La Tixera, is located just a few minutes by boat from Playa San Juan, Spain. Divers will explore an intriguing V-shaped platform situated at approximately 25 meters, which then dramatically drops off to a depth of 40 meters. The area, part of the wilder side of the island, offers a less tourist-marked underwater experience, presenting a unique topographical challenge and exploration opportunity.
The marine life here is abundant and varied, typical of the Atlantic waters. Divers can expect to encounter fascinating Murray eels, elusive octopuses, and a variety of rays, including impressive stingrays. The site is also home to numerous typical Atlantic fish species, and lucky divers might even spot flying fish.
While no specific seasonal highlights are provided, the less-touristed nature suggests good diving conditions throughout much of the year, though the "wilder ocean" implies conditions can be variable. Freedivers will find the depths from the platform to the drop-off particularly appealing, offering excellent opportunities for deeper dives. Divers should be prepared for potential currents given the site's exposed location.
