Arrecifes Artificiales Tabarca
★★★★☆
(192)
In the Tabarca Marine Reserve, within its inner waters, you’ll find the Artificial Reefs. Located south of the island at a depth of 24 meters, four large artificial structures, each 6 meters high, create an impressive underwater environment. A must-do dive when you visit Tabarca.
Schools of meagres patrol the reef alongside groupers, scorpionfish, and dentex, while nudibranchs, flatworms, and vibrant gorgonians cover its structure.
