    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Navarra isn't a casual drop, sitting squarely at 48 meters deep. This is one for the expert diver, no question. We’re talking a proper deep dive here, where the reef structure is different, less about a riot of colour and more about the scale and the sheer quiet that comes with that depth. You’ll find some interesting deep-water fish species here, often bigger pelagics cruising through the blue, rather than the smaller reef fish you see shallower. Visibility can be excellent, making the descent feel like an endless drop, but you absolutely need to be comfortable with your deep diving protocols before considering Navarra.
