Location description: Dive Sites:
The Cathedral – Shore Dive
accessed from the beach (Playa de la Barrilla). It is a short surface swim out of the bay and then a free descent to approx. 14m. We follow along the reef to the left and over a drop-off which leads down to the `Cathedral` at approximately 30 metres.There are alcoves of finger coral and small shrimp and glass fish at the far end and there are many soft corals on the cave walls and roof. Grouper fish are very often found there. This is also a regular hang out for some beautiful trumpet fish. Torches are recommended to explore the cave to full advantage.
The House Reef – Shore Dive
is accessed via the beach or the jetty with a short surface swim then a free descent to approximately 12 metres at which point the dive runs along the end of the protected bay with overhangs on either side. The bottom contours can be followed to a depth of approximately 25 metres. There are a variety of fish including grouper, barracuda, angelshark, and rays to be seen. Large shrimps, globular anemone, arrowhead crabs and octopus can also be found there which is why it also makes an interesting dive that can be done several times, all of which will vary.
The Harbour Wall – Shore Dive
a very interesting dive both by day & by night. It begins from the bay or from the jetty.It is a shallow entry leading leisurely to 24mtrs at its furthest point. For orientation and navigation purposes the rocks and the harbour wall are kept to the right on the way out and on the return journey the same features are kept to the left and this leads straight back the jetty or bay. At night the bay takes on a different character, fields of anemones burst from the normally featureless sandy bottom. Cuttlefish, octopus and sea horses can be found along the small harbour wall, spider crab and small shrimps can also be spotted by those with keen eyesight. During the day there is an abundance of many different fish & marine life species – a great dive, ideal for those wanting to take their time and photograph the little creatures!
Old Harbour Wrecks - Boat Dive
This site has been designated a marine conservation site and features a well established wreck site supporting a vast quantity of marine life - sardines, pinfish, turkish wrasse, emperor fish, arrow crabs, large groupers, barracuda and sometimes visited by large rays, tuna and angelsharks. The short boat trip from the harbour takes divers to a buoy directly above a trawler wreck at 18 metres. We descend down the line to the forward mast and from there to the bottom. This wreck still has a two metre brass propeller intact. If you follow the edge of the reef down you`ll find other wrecks which range from a wooden crushed wreck at 24 metres to a skeletal fishing boat at around 37 metres. There are approximately eight wrecks together in the area and the site can be dived several times to explore its entirety.
