About this dive site

This dive site, Losa del Payo, is a vast underwater landscape in Spain requiring multiple dives to fully explore. Navigation involves traversing vertical walls, gently sloping areas, and intriguing tunnels, demanding a good level of experience and underwater navigation skills. The site's history or specific origins are not detailed in the provided information.

The marine life is incredibly diverse. Schools of sardines are a common sight, often pursued by larger predators such as dentex, barracuda, moray eels, conger eels, and bream. The variety extends to a wealth of other species inhabiting the diverse habitats found at the site.

The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months, from spring to autumn (April-October), when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is typically at its best. For both divers and freedivers, it's important to be aware of potential moderate currents and plan dives accordingly. Good buoyancy control is essential, especially when navigating the tunnels and walls.
