Dive-site story
Located off the rugged perimeter of Isla de Las Palomas in Tarifa, Las Calles takes its name from a network of parallel rocky corridors running along the seabed. These underwater streets funnel Atlantic and Mediterranean waters, creating an energetic ecosystem where marine life congregates in rocky overhangs and sandy channels.
Navigating distinct stone channels and canyons carved by tidal currents
Encounters with ocean sunfish cruising the convergence of the Atlantic and Mediterranean
Sheltered crevices harboring moray eels, spider crabs, and resting groupers
