Why dive here
With 140+ marine species recorded in the area - including dolphins, ocean sunfish (mola mola), octopuses, sea turtles and sperm whales - La Piedra del Abadejo offers some of Al Hoceima's richest reef diving. Water ranges 16-23°C, warmest July, August, September.
La Piedra del Abadejo offers a straightforward dive in Al Hoceima, reaching a maximum depth of 21 metres. It’s a good spot for intermediate divers looking for a relaxed exploration without major currents to worry about. We’ve found the rock formations here create some interesting nooks and crannies to peer into, often revealing scorpionfish tucked away and small schools of damselfish flitting about. It’s not a showstopper, but it’s a perfectly pleasant way to spend an hour underwater, especially if you appreciate the calmer side of the Mediterranean.
