This dive site, Aneris, named after a European citizen science project, is located off Sant Jordi Beach in Spain. Extending from Plantación de Boines, it's a collaborative site with the Institute of Marine Sciences. Divers can expect to explore a varied underwater environment, likely consisting of rocky formations and possibly seagrass beds, where marine life can hide. The site's purpose ties into marine observation and conservation efforts.
The main attractions here are the elusive groupers and shy moray eels, which divers should actively seek out in crevices and among the rocks. In addition to these, the Mediterranean waters are home to various smaller fish species like damselfish and bream, as well as crustaceans, octopuses, and sponges. Extensive Posidonia seagrass meadows might also be present, forming vital habitats.
Aneris is suitable for diving year-round, though the warmer months from late spring to early autumn often offer the best visibility and water temperatures. Its shallow to medium depth makes it ideal for beginner divers, snorkelers, and freedivers. Underwater photographers interested in macro subjects or finding well-camouflaged marine life will find it rewarding. It’s also a unique opportunity to connect with a citizen science initiative.
