This dive site is located on the north face of the Peñón de Ifach, a prominent rock formation off the coast. The dive offers a gradual descent through the wall of the rock, providing access to a unique underwater environment. The seabed consists primarily of large rocks, which create an interesting landscape for exploration. Divers can encounter various marine life including lobsters, conger eels, moray eels, groupers, and fascinating nudibranchs commonly referred to as "Swiss cows." Octopuses may also be observed. This dive shares a sandy area with the Los Arcos dive site, potentially hosting species like mantelina or sole. It’s a rewarding experience for those interested in exploring a rugged underwater world.
