Dive-site story
Set along the rocky coastline of Punta de la Mona near La Herradura, La Calita offers divers a sheltered environment characterized by rocky walls, massive boulders, and sandy channels. The underwater topography creates numerous crevices and overhangs where Mediterranean macro life flourishes. Depending on the season, ocean sunfish drift in from deeper water toward cleaning stations along the point.
Frequent encounters with ocean sunfish during spring upwellings
Rocky crevices harboring common octopus and moray eels
Sheltered entry points suitable for macro photography and training dives
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Warmer waters and calmer weather prevail through summer and early autumn, while spring brings higher chances of pelagic visitors.
