La Muladera / Roca del Moro

The anchor line falls right into the middle of the two rocks, in the canyon, which makes the descent unusually easy to orient in: you have a wall on either side from about eight metres down and no ambiguity about where the dive starts. From the anchorage the route heads south, guided by the walls of both rocks, and the ground drops away steadily rather than in steps.

At the far end, at a maximum of 24 metres, the walls open into a wide variety of rock, which the catalogue says houses most of the marine life of the dive, and that is the turnaround. Blanes-Sub gives the site a wider band, 3 to 25 metres, so a guide can hold the group high on the rocks or take the full profile. Between and around the rock is the Posidonia meadow the site is known for locally, extensive enough that Wikivoyage lists it as the reason the centres visit so often.

Life is the ordinary Mediterranean cast, which here means it is worth diving slowly. Bream work the water over the canyon, morays and lobsters are back in the holes in both walls, octopus sit out on the rock, and the catalogue singles out the range of nudibranchs on the site. The rock is where the catalogue puts the life, so work the walls and the holes and keep your fins clear of the Posidonia.
