About this dive site
This dive site is a unique and beautiful location featuring an inverted amphitheater-like formation with a sandy bottom. The area includes canyons, and the perimeter boasts shapes reminiscent of bullrings. Divers can access this site through two primary routes: drifting towards the "corbera" rock, requiring a boatman, or by traveling toward the island of Mouro, passing by "the cathedral," and ultimately reaching the cove where the anchoring point will be located. A curious aspect of the dive is the frequent presence of golf balls carried into the area by the currents from the municipal golf course in Mataleñas, Santander. The maximum depth of this site reaches approximately 22-23 meters.
