Dive-site story
Piedra de En medio rises along the western flank of Punta de la Mona near La Herradura. Rocky ridges, scattered boulders, and sandy patches define the seabed. Divers explore deep cracks and overhangs that harbor classic Mediterranean species, sheltered by the headland during westerly weather.
Rocky pinnacle drop-offs colonized by yellow gorgonians and encrusting sponges
Deep fissures housing conger eels, morays, and hiding octopuses
Sand channels at the base where torpedo rays and flatfish often rest
