Escull Negre

★★★★☆ (320)

Escull Negre is one of the most iconic dives in the Tabarca Marine Reserve. We circle a small islet between 2 and 13 m, with very clear waters, plenty of light and abundant life on rocky areas and posidonia meadows, ideal for relaxed diving and photography in a vibrant protected ecosystem.

Large groupers, schools of barracudas, dentex, scorpionfish, slipper lobsters, gilthead bream, sea bass, salema, bream, nudibranchs and eagle rays are commonly seen here, often nearby.
