What You’ll See Underwater

The dive takes place in a marine environment rich in biodiversity. During your dive at Punta Galera, you will follow a circular route through different underwater habitats, including Posidonia oceanica meadows, a type of algae protected by UNESCO, and rocky areas home to a variety of marine species. Some of the wildlife you might encounter includes:

• Rockfish

Additionally, visibility in this area is excellent, with up to 20 meters under ideal conditions, and there are no strong currents, making it a calm and safe dive. Exploring this protected natural environment allows you to connect with a unique ecosystem, a true underwater paradise.
