Cumbre del Sol Benitachell

Cumbre del Sol Benitachell

• Description: Heading North from Moraira on the way to Javea is the beach at Cumbre Del Sol. From the car park you can walk into an open topped cave and jump in with your equipment or we can anchor just off the beach and dive from the boat. At this site we swim through a large cave opening and surface inside the open air cave. From here we dive back out of the cave entrance and follow the wall along until we come to a second cave. This is a very wide entry which takes you into the cave where a fresh water river pours into the sea. As you surface in this cave you come up through salt water into the cold, fresh water. This sits on top of the salt water forming a salicline and is like traveling through an underwater fog. On this dive site we can find octopus, scorpionfish and allsorts of small fish, if we have the time after the caves sometimes we can find eaglerays over the sandy areas.

• Entry to dive site: From shore or boat.

• Depth: 5 - 15 metres.

• Time to dive site: 20 - 25 minutes.
