Dive-site story
La Llosa is a prominent submerged mountain situated behind Benidorm Island within the Serra Gelada Natural Park. The pinnacle rises from the sandy seabed toward the surface, offering dramatic underwater topography with vertical drop-offs, caves, and boulder fields. Because it sits exposed to open sea currents, it serves as an aggregation point for pelagic predators and resident Mediterranean fauna.
Submerged seamount structure featuring deep vertical walls and crevices
Schools of predatory fish circling the current-facing slopes
Richly colonized rock faces covered in sponges, false corals, and bryozoans

Seasonality
