| At the end of the las Rotas road, in the natural pool formed by the sea, we shall start this simple immersion that can be considered a variation of the “El Fresquito” route, the only difference being that we shall start from the beginning here and once we see a tongue of rock in the middle; the way which remains on our left, approximately a 60º course to go, always amongst the corridors formed by the wall that will always be on our left, with more or less continuous o irregular rocky formations on our right. It is quite a shallow bottom but very pretty indeed and with lots of light. Many species are to be found such as sargos, salpas, marbré stripped sea bream, red mullets and serrano fish, although it is not strange at all to find octopus or dorados. We’ll see a small arch in a rock through which we can cross and, coming out, we’ll reach a sand bank at approximately 8,5m. at this moment we’ll move to the right a 140º course to, after a sandy break, reach another rocky wall that advances out to sea although in a small valley, which is formed with loose stones, we shall take a new sand corridor between two walls and, in a 90º course, we shall advance until reaching a bottom of approximately 10 m. and being the stone more scattered and bigger the sand bank, we shall reverse our course leaving the rocks on the left. Shortly after that, a rock tongue will appear on our right, we’ll take the corridor between them and we shall follow the wall, which will now be on our left forming a picturesque slope of colourful red algae, a wall that will lose height so that, when we are at 4 or 5m., jump transversally over the rock tongue, with a 150º course and return to the sandy bank departure point. |
