La Capilla

★★★★☆ (28)

A dive suitable for all levels of divers. On the rock reef we can observe the remains of a wreck, an old fishing boat that sank in this place about 40 years ago. Only a few metal wrecks remain on the bottom under the lush kelp forests.

A multitude of species among which the usual conger eels and lobsters always hang around the same crevices on the reef.

El Río (★4.3)

We begin the descent at less than 10 meters deep and gradually reach greater depths, crossing several rock ridges and adjacent ravines. As we go deeper, the seabed becomes more uniform with wide sandy patches. A cave in shallower waters is well worth a visit.
