    StandoutExceptional marine biodiversity

    Loza del Payo is an easygoing dive, a gentle slope often with decent visibility, making it a good choice for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed session. We've often spotted scorpionfish tucked into crevices and the occasional moray eel peeking out. It's not a site that will blow your mind, but it’s reliably pleasant, a comfortable dive when you just want to get wet and see some Mediterranean regulars without any fuss.
