Barranco del Aqua

With its 30 meters of depth and sprawling drop-offs, this deep diving site has everything to make lovers of the deep and crazy go absolutely mental! The currents can be strong along the wall so this site is reserved for highly experienced divers.

During the descent, groupers swimming lazily between rocky overhangs often come out to say hello to the divers. When you get a glimpse beyond the wall, we can see Christmas tree shaped black coral growing off the rock. Further down, prominent pinnacles have become the hang out for barracudas. And, finally, while heading back up, it is not uncommon to run into manta rays and schools of sardines.
