Isla Mediana
★★★★★
(2,097)
Diving at Isla Mediana (or l’Illa Mitjana) is one of the most complete and spectacular underwater experiences in the Serra Gelada Natural Park. This small island, located just over 3 nautical miles from the port of Altea, is notable for its profile, which is similar to that of Isla Benidorm.
Isla Mediana is home to an impressive biodiversity: octopuses, moray eels, conger eels, nudibranchs, gorgonians, dentex, and croakers.
