This dive site, La Piscina, is located on the east side of Tarifa Island, Spain. A buoy marks the entry point, with an anchorage depth of 15 meters. The dive can be a drift dive, starting from the buoy and following the underwater topography. Divers should be aware of the potential for currents, especially when drifting. The dive profile generally involves descending to a bottom zone around 18 meters, and potentially exploring a wall section that stretches from 15 to 9 meters.
The rich biodiversity of La Piscina is a highlight. Divers can expect to encounter large schools of fish, along with a wide array of nudibranchs. Depending on the season, other species might also be present. The wall itself provides a captivating landscape, often teeming with life.
The best time to dive La Piscina is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer) when visibility tends to be better and water temperatures are more pleasant. However, currents can be more pronounced during these times. Freedivers will need to manage their descent and ascent carefully given the depth, paying close attention to the currents. It's always recommended to dive La Piscina with a reputable dive operator who is familiar with local conditions.
