This dive site is located near Portichol beach, specifically on a small islet called Mª Claudia. It offers a rewarding circular dive around the island, providing a diverse underwater experience with varied landscapes and reliefs. The dive starts following the wall, reaching a maximum depth of 20 meters. A notable feature is a chimney-shaped tube situated on the west face, extending from approximately 11 meters to 6 meters below the surface. Sunlight filters through this 'fireplace,' creating beautiful backlights. The east orientation of Mª Claudia is particularly noteworthy for its upholstery. This dive offers opportunities to observe different underwater scenes and enjoys fantastic lighting conditions.
