Los Arcos

One of the key features of the waters around Benidorm Island is their regular clarity, a quality that divers always appreciate, especially when combined with beautiful, life-filled seabeds, as is the case with this dive. 🌟

On the northeast side of the island, we moor at a buoy at around -6 meters and then comfortably descend to a maximum depth of -22 meters. We find a rocky substrate with medium-sized pieces that become smaller as we move away from the wall and the sand increases, only to grow larger again into huge rocks as we approach the island. 🏝️

🐟 Exploring the Seabed of Benidorm Island

The suggested route involves heading from the buoy, parallel to the island, and exploring the massive rocks and the marine life they shelter, such as bream, schools of wrasse, and octopuses, with frequent encounters with schools of needlefish. 🐙🐟

As we drift towards the southwest, the rocky bottom changes to a cliff, at which point we ascend to about -14 meters and move closer to the wall, where the large rocks reappear. Among them, we find long stacked caves that act as viewing points at -9 meters, creating stunning backlighting. 🌅

By following the wall, which we leave on our left, we can return to the mooring, gradually eliminating the nitrogen. 💧
