Dive-site story
San Martin Norte lies tucked beneath the towering limestone headland of Cap de Sant Martí near Xàbia. Divers navigate a network of fallen boulders, rocky ledges, and channels resting over beds of golden sand and Posidonia oceanica seagrass. The sheltered aspect of the northern cliff face creates a calm underwater environment with reliable natural lighting.
Extensive boulder fields sheltering nocturnal predators and macro subjects
Expansive Posidonia oceanica meadows home to juvenile fish and cuttlefish
Sunlit swim-throughs and fissures along the cliff wall base
