Punta Garbí

The diving opportunities around Benidorm Island are extensive and cater to a variety of profiles and experience levels. 🌟

On this occasion, we head to the southern face of the island, specifically towards Punta Garbí. Here, we can moor our boat to a buoy, which leads us to a depth of -8 meters. We are right above a rocky platform that drops from -4 meters to -20 meters, offering us an impressive vertical drop over a rock wall filled with holes and crevices, where we will soon encounter morays and numerous octopuses. 🐙

🐟 Exploring the Secrets of the Rock Wall

The dive consists of following this wall with it to our right, heading west, while exploring its many nooks and crannies filled with varied marine life, from castanets to wrasse. The wall features numerous longitudinal cracks, and at the lowest point, there are balconies covered by the stunning yellow encrusting anemone, where we might find a grouper hiding. 🐟🌿

During the dive, we will frequently encounter nudibranchs, clavelinas, and sponges, and at the sandy bottom that reaches up to -28 meters, some rays. As we drift eastwards, towards the dock, a more continuous sandy area appears, forcing us to reduce the depth while searching for the rocky platform that will eventually lead us to a beautiful arch. This might be the perfect moment to return, this time above the platform, until we reach the starting point, where we can safely complete our safety stop. 🏖️
