The dive

The dive starts in a small cove sheltered from the currents. The site spans depths from 7 m to 35 m and is built around large rock formations, which serve as a shelter for a variety of marine life.

Groupers have settled in large numbers among the rocks, and barracuda are always present in this part of Cabrera. Visibility is usually very clear, reaching 40 m and sometimes more, so the rock formations and the fish around them stay in view from a distance.
