About this dive site

This dive site is located on the north face of the Peñón de Ifach, a prominent rock formation off the coast. It's considered one of the shallower dives available on this north-facing section. The seabed here has formed over centuries due to ancient landslides from the main rock into the sea, creating a captivating labyrinth of arches and tunnels. These formations are richly adorned with sponges, colorful corals, and anemones. Within the arches, divers may encounter schools of mojarras, alongside groupers, croakers, and occasionally moray eels. Moving towards the sandy bottom – which represents the deepest part of this dive – occasional sightings can be made of mantelina or sole. This underwater landscape offers a unique and visually stunning experience.
