Dive-site story
Situated within the Tabarca Marine Reserve off the coast of Alicante, this rocky outcrop features a mix of submerged boulders and dense Neptune grass meadows. Divers circumnavigate the submerged section of the reef, exploring cracks and small undercuts where marine species shelter from open water currents. The surrounding reserve protection has allowed fish stocks to recover significantly, making it one of the more vibrant spots in the region.
Large dusky groupers resting along sandy margins and rocky crevices
Dense Neptune grass beds supporting diverse macro life and juvenile fish
Occasional schools of Mediterranean barracuda circling overhead in open water
