This dive site is located at Punta Salinas, the furthest point of Salinas in Spain. The dive involves exploring a rocky bottom area with depths ranging from 15 to 28 meters, though the stated maximum for this particular dive is 17 meters. A prominent feature is a wall covered in red gorgonians, adding vibrant color and texture to the underwater landscape. Divers should plan a half-turn at a suitable point to ensure a safe return to the boat.
Marine life here is varied and includes shoals of sea breams, salps, and gilthead breams. Divers may also encounter solitary dentex, and during migration seasons, the possibility of spotting sunfish swimming in the blue is a thrilling prospect. The rocky substrate provides shelter for many smaller invertebrates and fish, offering good macro photography opportunities.
The best time to visit Punta Salinas for diving is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer) when visibility is generally better and more marine life is active. For freedivers, the moderate depths and potentially strong currents should be considered carefully. Proper planning, including checking current conditions before the dive, is crucial for a safe and enjoyable experience. Always dive within your limits and be aware of the varying depths.
