El Desierto
★★★★☆
(1,150)
This is the last and furthest of dive sites in the Mar de las Calmas Marine Reserve heading west, and it will take 10-15 minutes to reach from the port of La Restinga.
This site has the highest concentration of Heteroconger longissimus in all of Europe. It is beautiful to see them dance!
