PUNTA SPADILLO
A massive lava flow and bluefin tuna
The dive on the south side of Punta Spadillo begins beneath the lighthouse, where the 8 m deep seabed consists of white boulders with numerous cracks and crevices. After passing through this initial zone, you will come to a steep landslide where you will continue descending to the south-east, while staying to the left. The descent should be made at an angle so as to observe the cracks and small cavities. The seabed, which reaches depths of up to 40 m, consists of a series of boulders. Beware of the current when turning to place the wall on your right. In order to re-ascend, it is recommended to zig-zag over the landslide until you reach the coast.
