Roca de Santa Anna

About this dive site

This dive site, Roca de Santa Anna, is a unique pyramid-shaped rock formation off the coast of Spain. Navigation involves descending carefully around the rock's perimeter, exploring its various depths and crevices. The site's history is likely tied to the region's fishing and maritime traditions, though specific historical details are lacking. The rock itself is the central focus, its various levels and contours offering many exploration opportunities.

The marine life at Roca de Santa Anna is diverse and exciting. Large conger eels and moray eels are common residents, finding shelter in the rock's crevices. Medium-sized groupers also inhabit this area, sometimes seen patrolling the rock's edges. From March to October, the magnificent sunfish (mola mola) makes an appearance, adding another layer of excitement to the dive. Smaller fish and invertebrates also populate the area, although they are less prominent than the larger species.

The best time to visit Roca de Santa Anna is during the warmer months, from March to October, when the sunfish are present and visibility is generally better. A flashlight is essential for this dive, given the depth and potential for exploring darker crevices. Advanced divers and those with experience in deep or extended-range dives are best suited for this location. The strong currents present in certain areas should not be overlooked and proper precautions should be taken, as this is a dive site that requires planning and experience.
