The house reef is situated outside the dive centre. We have a short boat trip to get to the reef and here we drop down onto a rocky reef that sits approx 4 mtrs in depth!
The reef is unique with large holes that you can drop down into, and swim through! With the formation of the reef it leaves nice sandy pockets, where we have found marble rays.
The local life that can be found here is spider crabs, octopus, cuttlefish, moray eels, common and peacock wrasse.
Visibility here can range between 3 – 15 mtrs.

The tower is situated just outside Marbella, and is an old concrete cargo loading tower built in the 1950s and which fell into disuse during the 1970s.
The tower sits approx 300-400 mtrs off the shore edge. Here we anchor up at the base of the tower and drop down the anchor line. Around the base of the tower we can find morey eels, conger eels, octopus, fire worms, cardinal fish, ornate wrasse. As you move away from the base of the tower you will come across a small wreck of a fishing boat, with a propeller and shaft still visibile. Here you will find trigger fish lurking!
On the opposite side of the tower we have the arm of an enormous crane once used to move mineral ore from the platform into the holds of the ships.

Gibraltar: here we dive off the shore onto wrecks which lay approx 5 - 16 mtrs in depth. Over 2 dives we cover 5 wrecks which have all been sunk specifically for divers. The wrecks have a huge amount of life on them. The water temp here can vary between 16 - 20 degrees and visibility anywhere between 5 - 15 mtrs. We have a huge variety of life including wrasse, rays, star gazers, octopus and eels, just to name a few!

Tarifa the southern most point of Europe is just 1 ½ hours drive away. The island is another great diving area located by the Los Alcornocales national park.
Dropping from the boat, into crystal waters, onto wall and reef dives and then to a white sandy bottom Tarifa is world famous for the quality of it's diving.

There are several remarkable wrecks that can be dived around the island, with depths ranging from 6 to 30m plus. This is the only place to spot turtles.

Other marine life that can be seen here include moray and conger eels, spider crabs, octopus, lobsters, rays and even dolphins.

Nerja, nestling at the feet of the Sierra Nevada mountains is only an hour's drive from our shop in Benalmadena. There are 10 dive sites we use, ranging in depth from 6 m–30m. These sites are wall, reef and cavern dives, and are easily accessible from the beach. The beautifully clear waters of this area are teaming with marine life and are part of the Cerro Gordo national park

Our favourite site in this area is the Naturalist beach, a secluded cove, with bars, restaurants and fresh water showers. The sealife varies from sunfish, wrasse, octopus, cuttle fish, to Harry the Conger eel - just to name a few!

This site is ideal for both beginners and experienced divers, and is great for training on our Open Water course.

On the 11th November 1917 the cargo ship Menapier, loaded with iron ore whilst on passage from Villaricos to Gibraltar, sunk due to a collision with another ship. Today the wreck, lying between Fuengirola and Punta de Calaburra, is still in good condition. It is about 110 m in length and approx. 15 m in width and lies on a slightly sloping sandy bottom at around 40 m. The average diving depth is between 35 and 40 m.

For diving purposes and to have a reference line for descents and ascents there is a mooring line attached at around 35 m of depth at an impressive winch on the deck of the wreck.

We descend along the mooring line towards the wreck of the Menapier. At a depth of 25 m a big school of sardines welcomes us. As we decend further we can already see the big bodies of the Yellowtail Kingfish.

The school of Yellowtails circles us during the whole dive. The brittle of the silverish fish with the lemon like glitter and the shade, provided by such a big school gives a great atmosphere. Additionally there are the Capitones, also known as Dentones, with their hornlike bumps on their foreheads.

On the deck of the wreck and in its many holes there are loads of smaller fish to see. Using your torch brings back their true colours. This is a real spectacle of colours in front of the steel structures. Not to forget the spider crabs which can be discovered here and there. Also some bigger octopus can be seen. Conger eels are hiding in some holes. The top of the wreck is full of nudibranches. At the very bottom of the Menapier there are even some lobsters.

Diving towards the bow provides a clearer picture of the wreck. The big hole in the hull caused by the collision almost a century ago can easily be seen. At the bow area we can see the big holds and the winches which were used to load and unload the vessel.

As we dive towards the middle of the ship where we soon will have to ascend there is also a big steam tank and lots of pipes and valves. This is a true trip into the past.

With a little luck we might see even a sun fish during the ascent.
