Leaving the port of Dénia towards the Cape of San Antonio, before reaching the lighthouse, we’ll find a cove and a mooring’s buoy.
We shall moor the boat and descend to a bottom of some -16 m, formed by great-scattered rocks around the sand.
This area is highly protected and requires a special permit for diving. It is an area of exceptional beauty where species difficult to find elsewhere abound such as big sea lobsters, dorados, conger eels, groupers and pretty white gorgonian formations.
The irregular rock scattering and moderate depth allow you to improvise any route. Nevertheless, we suggest to go from the anchoring in a course opposite to the coast, going deeper, and several metres away we shall find a great long rocky formation, to the right, that we shall surround and then follow approximately a 270º course in which we’ll find many large rocks that form beautiful back lightings. In their cavities it will not be difficult to find corvine, brotolas and groupers.
We’ll continue closing the circle at the same time as we approach the coast where rocks become more compressed already forming stone platforms, and finally we’ll return to the anchoring of the buoy. |
