About this dive site

This dive site is located on the south face of the Peñón de Ifach, a prominent rock formation off the coast. The diving experience involves a gradual descent along the rock wall to reach the seabed. This area is characterized by its rocky terrain, moderate depth, and typically minimal currents, creating an environment rich in marine life. Divers often encounter a diverse array of species, including large nudibranchs, octopuses, angler fish, conger eels, lobsters, dentex fish, and occasionally even sunfish. At the maximum depth, the remains of a shipwreck provide further interest and contribute to the local ecosystem. The wreck attracts various creatures seeking shelter and food.
