Dive-site story
Situated along the volcanic coastline near Carboneras, La piedra de Blas is an isolated rocky pinnacle rising from a seabed of sand and Posidonia oceanica meadows. The volcanic rock formation creates crevices, overhangs, and swim-through channels that shelter typical Mediterranean species, with pelagic fish patrolling the perimeter in open water.
Pronounced volcanic pinnacle structure rising distinctly above the sandy seafloor
Expansive seagrass beds surrounding the base where juvenile fish congregate
Network of rocky crevices harboring cryptobenthic organisms and cephalopods
