    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    La Punta del Castillo offers a straightforward dive, popular with local dive centers. You'll find a rocky seabed with some smaller reef sections, home to typical Mediterranean species like scorpionfish, moray eels, and octopus. It's a reliable spot for less experienced divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon immersion. Conditions here are generally calm, making it a good choice for a second dive.
