Leaving the port we shall take the las Rotas road till it ends (approx. 4 km), where you’ll find a parking site. There, we shall equip ourselves and walk to the sea, which forms a small natural rock pool of transparent waters.
We shall get into the water and, tube in mouth, we’ll advance some 30m. until we’ll observe a bottom that falls some 3m., which will be the diving’s starting point.

In the sandy bottom we shall find tongues of rocks, which advance towards the sea. We shall always follow the wall that will remain on our right, with a 60º course. It’s interesting to stop at the cornices that the wall forms, where we’ll be able to observe octopus, spyrographs, bonelias and some morays. With some luck, we might even find an odd ray in the sandy bottom, which remains on our left.

Following the wall there is a time when it stretches with another that arises from the left. We’ll continue the same way we were following and, after a few minutes, in a bottom of approximately 10m. the rock will begin to disappear, and it will now appear in the shape of isolated stones. It will be time for us to go back remaking the way we did before, although when we reach the stretched area we’ll pass for a short time to that wall (which will now be on our right) and we shall find a small chimney in the rock that creates a beautiful back lighting through which we can pass (it’s about 3 or 4 m. long). After this, we’ll return to the left wall until we reach the departure point once again.
