Sa Farola
This dive site in Spain is perfect for beginner divers or those with limited experience. It offers easy entry from a small beach, making it suitable for try scuba dives and night dives. With a maximum depth of 9 meters and good visibility of up to 17 meters, divers can explore the underwater world comfortably.
As you enter from the beach, you'll find rocks on the left that are ideal for leaning and getting ready with your diving equipment. There is also a shallow sandy area, just over a meter deep, where you can practice or review diving techniques. From there, you can continue your dive over the sandy bottom, reaching the Neptune grass meadows. In the past, the fan mussel population was abundant, but it has decreased since 2018. However, you can still encounter schools of salps browsing the Neptune grass, as well as various marine life such as white seabream, two-banded seabream, med, rainbow wrasse, ornate wrasse, striped red mullet, sea urchins, sea cucumber, and even octopus.
As you follow the dive route, you'll come across signaling buoys at a depth of 5 meters. From there, you can explore small sandbanks interconnected with each other. If you turn right at 10 meters, you can visit the grotto of the cape. On your return, you'll leave the grotto on your left and gradually ascend to the surface, ensuring a safety stop before reaching the small beach of Sa Farola.
