About this dive site

This dive site, located on the Bledes islands, is a nature reserve of significant beauty. It offers numerous diving locations and impressive sea beds. A suggested dive is off Bleda menor. To reach this location, navigate through a narrow strait separating Bleda menor from an islet. The anchor rests in 10 meters of water. Descending quickly, you’ll find yourself in a substantial drop-off. Maintaining the shelf to your right and heading in a northerly-westerly direction for approximately 30 meters, you'll discover the remarkable underwater gardens – vibrant red gorgonias or sea fans. Due to their depth, they are best appreciated with a good torch. The entire wall is covered by this delicate living colony, resembling an intricate skeleton of a brightly colored bush.
