About this dive site

This dive site, known as Coral, is located in Spain and is primarily intended for technical divers due to its deeper sections ranging from 40 to 85 meters, which are highlighted by unique formations. While a general maximum depth of 31 meters is noted, the site's true allure lies in its profound depths, accessible only with specialized training and equipment. There is no specific history or story provided for this site, suggesting its appeal is purely based on its natural, pristine deep-water features.

The underwater environment is characterized by an extensive forest of black coral and abundant gorgonia, which thrive at these deeper levels, forming a striking landscape. Marine life is rich and diverse, featuring larger pelagic species such as Angel sharks, stingrays, groupers, barracuda, and tuna, alongside typical reef fish. Both hard and soft corals contribute to the vibrant and healthy ecosystem, making it a spectacular deep-sea habitat.

The primary highlight of Coral is its stunning and rare deep-sea coral formations, especially the black coral and gorgonia, which are rarely found at shallower depths. As it caters exclusively to technical divers, advanced planning, appropriate certifications, and specialized gear are essential for a safe and rewarding experience. No specific best time to visit is mentioned, but the dive offers unique opportunities for wide-angle photography focusing on the expansive deep-sea landscape and its larger inhabitants.
