La Restinga

Only 2 mins by boat from the harbour, the mooring buoy is located in the corner of the port wall and a rocky bar that enters the sea in North-South direction.  This bar extends out to the open sea and creates a great wall dive. Follow the bar, reaching a maximum depth of 20 meters. At the end of the route there is a horizontal ledge where Dusky Groupers (Epinephelus marginatus), Barred Hogfish (Pseudolepidaplois scrofa) and some Canary lobsters (Panulirus echinatus) usually they take refuge  . On the way back to the anchor line you can see groups of trumpet fish (Aulostomus strigosus) and groupers (Mycteroperca fusca).  In the cracks near the anchor line it is possible to find Porcupinefish (Chilomycterus reticulatus) and, in the winter months, there are often the endangered Angle Shark (Squatina squatina) half-buried in the sand.



El Rincón is also known as El Rincon.

El Rincón

One of the best dives I've done ever. Impressive. When there is current is more complicated but there is much more life tabi (jurel Bicuda, Gallo Blue Sargos ...)

In boat leaving the port of restinga. Is not easy to find if you do not know where this, although usually is some buoy.

Punta Restinga

Start this dive on a bouy situated on a large rock, between 8 and 12m deep, usually surrounded by dozens of Zebra Seabreem (Diplodus cervinus).  In the many cracks live Black Morays (Muraena augusti) and Brown Morays (Gymnothorax unicolor), sometimes accompanied by the rare Goldentail moray (Gymnothorax miliaris).  Continue along the edge of a bank that runs parallel to the shore.  Stick to a maximum depth of around 20m as below this depth the marine life diminishes considerably.  Here you'll find an abundance of large Dusky Grouper (Epinephelus marginatus).  Return to the boat crossing through a labyrinth formed by lava flows, where we find groups of trumpetfish (Aulostomus strigosus) and Island Groupers (Mycteroperca fusca) mixing with thousands of ornate wrasse (Thalassoma pavo).  Here we find a hole covered in Black Coral at only 15m.



La Herradura

You can reach more than 40 m. in this dive, begin with a vertical descent to a rock arch full of black coral at about 40 m. after this you have to ascend slowly following the marine floor.
