About this dive site

This dive site, Playa del Puerto, is ideal for entry-level courses and dive training, offering easy access directly from the beach. The underwater topography consists primarily of a sandy bottom interspersed with natural rock formations that contribute to a small reef system. There's no complex navigation or significant historical context, making it a straightforward and safe environment for learning.

Divers can expect to encounter various small marine species such as castanets and soles, often found camouflaged along the sandy substrate. Starfish are commonly seen, adding color to the bottom, and octopus may be spotted hiding among the rocks.

The best time to visit Playa del Puerto for training or relaxed dives is typically during calm weather conditions, which enhance visibility and comfort. Its shallow depths make it perfectly suited for both scuba divers undergoing instruction and freedivers looking for an easy, accessible spot to practice their skills.
