Dive-site story
Located along the rugged cliffs of the Andalusian coast near La Herradura, this site is defined by a network of submerged rock corridors, vertical cracks, and swim-throughs formed by massive fallen limestone blocks. Divers navigate shaded passages where natural light filters through overhead crevices, illuminating encrusted walls covered in sponges, false corals, and bryozoans before opening onto deeper sandy slopes.

Walls carpeted in colorful encrusting sponges, yellow sea anemones, and bryozoan colonies
