About this dive site
This dive site offers a tranquil and rewarding experience for those seeking calm underwater exploration. The maximum depth is 13 meters, making it well-suited for beginners and intermediate divers. It’s an ideal location for extended dives due to its relaxed environment. The area features a fascinating transition zone between rocky formations and Posidonia seagrass meadows. Here, you'll frequently encounter large schools of salps, castañuelas, and bogas. For experienced observers, there is the chance to spot a fish mullet amongst the rocks. Other species commonly observed include various types of tunicates, green fish, doncellas, sargos, and barracudas. Smaller creatures, such as nudibranchs and planarians, are also abundant. A short distance from shore, two small tunnels are visible, adorned with sponges in shades of white, red, orange, and violet. You may also find sea tomatoes nearby. Visibility is dependent on the conditions, but currents should be minimal to allow for a comfortable experience.
