Dive-site story
Jutting into the Mediterranean along the Almuñécar coastline, this rocky outcrop features a mix of submerged boulders, sandy patches, and fissured stone walls. Divers can explore sheltered overhangs that harbor macro critters before swimming along the rocky periphery into deeper water. The promontory creates distinct microhabitats where Mediterranean fauna takes advantage of the varied shelter and gentle coastal currents.
Extensive boulder fields sheltering octopuses and moray eels in shallow crevices
Rocky drop-offs with gorgonians, anemones, and dense colonies of sea slugs
Frequent encounters with schooling salema and Mediterranean damselfish sweeping past the promontory point
Location

Seasonality
Warmer water and optimal visibility align with late spring through autumn, though diving takes place year-round.
