This dive site, known as Los Bloques, offers a versatile diving experience accessible either by boat or directly from the shore. The name 'Bloques' likely refers to interesting rock formations or underwater boulders that characterize the landscape. While no specific history is provided, its varied access and relatively shallow depths make it a popular local spot for exploring the Mediterranean underwater world. Navigation is generally straightforward, exploring around the rock formations and observing the bustling marine ecosystem.
The site is teeming with marine life, making every dive a discovery. Divers can expect to encounter large schools of damselfish, barracudas, and various seabreams, including white seabreams and two-banded seabreams. Mediterranean moray eels are common, often found hidden within the rocks, alongside mottled groupers and larger groupers. Other notable inhabitants include meagres, vibrant ornate wrasses, mullets, and octopuses, all contributing to a rich and diverse ecosystem.
The best time to visit Los Bloques is typically during the warmer months when the water temperature is most comfortable, though diving is possible year-round. Divers should be aware that currents can sometimes be present, adding an element of drift diving to the experience. For freedivers, the average depth of 8 meters and maximum of 17 meters, combined with abundant marine life, provides an excellent opportunity for breath-hold exploration. The site is suitable for all levels, but beginners should be mindful of potential currents.
