Dive-site story
Situated directly at the base of the massive Peñón de Ifach limestone outcrop in Calpe, this site sits where the coastal promenade terminates. Divers navigate a terrain formed by large detached boulder fields that give way to dense Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows and open sand channels. The broken rock landscape provides ample shelter for small Mediterranean critters, while the dramatic sheer cliff towering overhead creates a distinct backdrop above and below the surface.
