    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Cala del Mal Pas is a straightforward shore dive, ideal for beginners or a relaxed first check-out dive. The maximum depth of 7m means plenty of bottom time, and it’s a good spot for spotting common Mediterranean reef fish like damselfish and wrasse amongst the rocky seabed. We’d suggest it for training dives or for snorkelers looking for an easy entry.
