    La Xinxa offers a straightforward dive, popular with local dive centres for its easy access. We've often found it to be a good spot for trainees or those looking for a relaxed swim-through without too much current. Expect to see some moray eels tucked into crevices and perhaps a few octopus camouflaged against the rock. It's a solid, undemanding dive if you’re after something calm.
