This dive site, known as El Tajo or 'Tajo Colorao', is situated along the vibrant walls of Cape Tiñoso, west of a secluded cove. Its name comes from a distinctive reddish rock cut, creating a visually striking underwater landscape. Navigation typically involves exploring the wall formations, appreciating the interplay of sunlight and the exceptionally clear Mediterranean waters. No specific history or story beyond its geological features is provided.
Divers can expect to encounter a rich variety of typical Mediterranean fauna and flora. Commonly observed species include bream, corvina, and barracudas, alongside other diverse fish life characteristic of the region. The clear waters also facilitate observation of smaller creatures and the vibrant plant life thriving on the rocky substrate.
The site is best visited when sunlight can penetrate the clear waters, enhancing the visibility and colors of the 'Tajo Colorao'. It is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, with its moderate depths and engaging wall topography. The excellent visibility makes it ideal for underwater photography, particularly wide-angle shots of the impressive rock formations and schools of fish.
