This dive site, Cala Illurgieta, offers an immersion along a west-east oriented slab that closes the cove. The dive begins at the top of the slab at an approximate depth of 8-10 meters, gently descending to a maximum depth of 13 meters where the flagstone transitions into a sandy seabed. There is no specific historical information provided for this natural rock formation.
The diverse marine life includes a variety of bottom dwellers and reef inhabitants. Divers can expect to encounter mosaic rays, octopuses, conger eels, sole, cuttlefish, and numerous smaller creatures such as nudibranchs, planarians, mules, captain’s stars, and scrapie.
The best time to visit Cala Illurgieta is likely during warmer months for comfortable conditions. Its shallow depth makes it ideal for beginner divers and underwater photographers focusing on macro life. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find the site highly suitable due to its accessible depth and interesting topography.
