About this site
The Eastern Edge offers dramatic wall diving in the Strait of Gibraltar, where Atlantic currents bring nutrient-rich waters teeming with life. Descend along a steep rocky face covered in colorful sponges and gorgonians, where large schools of barracuda and tuna patrol. Eagle rays glide past while curious groupers inspect divers. Strong currents create ideal conditions for drift diving, with visibility often exceeding 20 meters. The site's unique position attracts pelagic species rarely seen in Mediterranean waters. Depth ranges from 15 to 40 meters, suitable for advanced divers. Water temperatures vary from 16°C in winter to 22°C in summer.
