Dive-site story
Sheltered inside a natural horseshoe bay along the Costa Tropical, this area serves as one of southern Spain's premier scuba hubs. Rocky reefs transition into sand flats, while rocky overhangs, swim-throughs, and boulder fields offer shelter to varied Mediterranean fauna. The topography allows diving on either side of the bay depending on wind direction, offering dependable water access throughout most of the year.
Extensive boulder slopes with abundant macro life and nudibranch varieties
Frequent seasonal sightings of ocean sunfish near rocky points
Sheltered bay dynamics that provide accessible conditions when open sea is rough
Location
