Dive-site story
Set within a sheltered horseshoe-shaped bay on Andalusia's Costa Tropical, the beach entry here provides calm water and straightforward navigation. Divers explore a gently sloping seabed composed of coarse sand, mixed gravel, and patches of seagrass, gradually giving way to scattered boulders closer to the headlands. It serves as a favored spot for night dives and training sessions, where patient searchers frequently uncover well-camouflaged Mediterranean macro critters.
