Underwater tour El Derrumbre (diving)

From the beach Cala del Moraig we can enjoy a very interesting dive which is also also performed from the same pool. Once out at sea, instead of staying close to the wall looking for the crypt cave, we will go parallel to it but farther out at sea, following the rocks which run along the route marking the landscape and which enclose secrets in the form of lobsters, numerous starfish, peacock wrasses and octopus.

Farther out at sea the landscape is dominated by Posidonia and sand banks, but we will not yet enter this, but after going for a few more minutes in a S/SW direction and leaving behind us the entrance to the cave which holds the Moraig Fault, where we will use a rock of an unmistakable shape as landmark, always with the wall to our right, we will reach a valley where there are numerous large rocks, overlapping one another, producing in this whimsical layout small passageways like windows through which we can look out of, if there isn't a groundswell. The wall of these rocks is covered with delicate incrustations, and after enjoying this landscape we will reverse our course, first going out to sea and finding a spot with Posidonia which we will cross followed by a very white stretch of sand. Our course back will now be the other way round to the outward journey, namely E/NE.

We will have to observe the sand very well because often there are good size mantels lying there and consequently almost unrecognisable, that are covered with sand during the day waiting to catch fish and squid, and also torpedos or tembladeras which have electric organs capable of producing electric shocks of up to 220V. So, for even more reasons, we will refrain from disturbing them.

Later we will see a large meadow of Posidonia, which we will follow on the left bank, next to the sandbank, and which after a few minutes will take us to the buoy located at the entrance to the Moraig pool, where we start our dive, although if the sea is calm we can leave from the platform which is immersed at slightly more than a metre at the base of the arches. Here we can take off our flippers and walk up and thus conclude this complete dive.
