Baja Fernando

This is without doubt an astonishing and most attractive place. The spectacular shapes and spaces to be found here make up a maze carved in the rock that easily evokes the image of a submerged city.

Striking dotted sea slugs and all kinds of other little fish -as well as the occasional large common stingray- hide in the different caves and cracks which are in turn covered in colourful sponges. Pink dentexes and common seabreams tend to swim near the rocky and sandy bottom, and if you look up towards the surface you’ll see among the large shoals of small pelagic fish almaco jacks and yellowmouth barracudas swiftly searching for an easy prey.

The greatest appeal of this dive is the underwater landscape, the caves, corridors, cornices and shapes that resemble the remains of a sunken vessel or some ancient ruins rather than the rocky bottom of the sea. This petrified landscape both delights and disorients those who dive there for the first time. The Baja Fernando is a true maze of walls and passages carved from the rock by the whimsical force of the sea.
