As Doval

This dive site, As Doval, is a beloved spot for those beginning their underwater journey in Spain. Located between picturesque islets and a tranquil beach, it forms a calm, shallow lagoon at low tide. This natural formation creates an ideal environment for gentle exploration, with navigation primarily involving easy traverses over sandy and algal bottoms within the protected lagoon, making it very approachable for new divers.
During spring and summer, the lagoon thrives with vibrant algae, providing a rich habitat for a variety of marine fauna. Divers and snorkelers can expect to encounter a diverse array of small fish and invertebrates amidst the lush algal growth. The sandy areas are particularly known for sightings of mosaic stingrays, adding a unique highlight to the marine observations.
The best time to visit As Doval is during spring and summer when the lagoon is most active with marine life and the conditions are optimal for calm water activities. Its shallow depths and calm nature make it perfectly suited for both scuba diving introductions and enjoyable snorkeling tours. Freedivers will also find the site excellent for practice due to its sheltered, clear waters.
