This dive site, Cueva de las Palomas, despite its misleading name suggesting a cave, is entirely a captivating wall dive. The name merely serves as a reference point for the dive's commencement. Divers navigate along the impressive wall, which descends to a maximum of 18 meters, with an average depth around 9 meters, offering an easy and enjoyable experience. No specific history or story behind the dive site is provided beyond its unique naming convention.
The vibrant marine life at Cueva de las Palomas includes diverse schools of fish such as bogas, bream, snappers, and salps, providing an active underwater spectacle. The wall is adorned with beautiful orange corals and is a haven for macro enthusiasts, boasting all kinds of nudibranchs.
The dive site is suitable for most of the year, with warmer waters typically from late spring to early autumn. Its moderate depth and rich marine life make it ideal for both scuba divers and freedivers. The abundance of small creatures like nudibranchs, coupled with colorful corals, offers excellent opportunities for underwater photography, particularly macro. Given its 'all levels' suitability, it's a great spot for beginners to explore wall diving and for experienced divers to enjoy prolific Mediterranean macro life.
