Diver's Notes

The spot is similar to El Perchel with same type of floor and sealife. Several fish can be spotted feeding on the rocks, and spider crabs are also common. It was a smooth dive, but a small current could be felt sometimes.

Profile is not accurate as the max depth wasn't maintained for the entire length of the dive.
