Castells
Discover the beauty of a boat dive in Spain's crystal-clear waters. With depths ranging from 27m in the upper part to 35 meters in the deepest section, this dive is perfect for advanced divers. The sea side offers an incredible underwater landscape with sandy areas on both sides of the bar.
To fully enjoy this dive, it is recommended to use nitrox due to the depth. The rocky areas are teeming with life, making it essential to carry an underwater light for better visibility. Keep an eye out for fascinating creatures such as moray eels, conger eels, lobsters, sunfishes, and rays during certain times.
Dive boats typically use the anchor as a reference point. To ensure an easy round trip, a marker buoy is placed at the anchor, and a reel line is deployed transversely across the entire rock bar. Depending on the current, you can choose to dive in the NE or SW direction, maintaining a depth of approximately 28-29 meters. Returning in a reciprocal direction will bring you back to the lowest allowable depth determined by the bar.
With a visibility of 12m and a maximum depth of 26m, this boat dive promises an unforgettable experience for divers seeking adventure in Spanish waters.
