About this dive site

This dive site is located at Playa Paraiso in Spain, offering a spectacular underwater canyon exploration. Navigating the dive involves following the canyon walls, paying attention to depth and potential changes in current. The use of a torch is highly recommended to fully appreciate the vibrant anemones and other life hidden in darker crevices. There is no known significant history or specific story attached to the site, it's primarily appreciated for its natural beauty and biodiversity.

The marine life here is abundant and diverse. You can expect to see a wide variety of colorful anemones, ceriantharia, octopus, parrotfish, eels, and other smaller fish species. The canyon walls themselves provide interesting habitats for many species. The specific variety and abundance of the life found will depend on the season and water conditions.

The best time to visit Playa Paraiso for diving is during the warmer months (spring and summer) when water temperatures are more pleasant and visibility is usually best. For freedivers, the mild currents and relatively shallow average depth make this a relatively safe and enjoyable site. However, always respect the depth limits and be mindful of your air supply if using scuba. Divers should also bring a dive light.
