Meet Cala Palmera, the divers' cove

Cala Palmera is one of those places that do not appear in all the brochures, but that surprise any diver who gets into the water… If you are considering where to dive, Alicante is a safe bet. And not only for the visibility or the water temperature (which also), but for the variety of dives it offers.

Maximum Depth
The maximum depth of this dive is 9 meters and hides several surprises that only Cala de la Palmera has and we will be happy to show them to you.
Type of immersion
This is a shore dive, so we enter the water from the shore gradually, which is very comfortable and gives you more control when starting the dive.
The orography of this dive site makes it an ideal environment for many types of species, as there are rocky areas, sandy bottom and large meadows of Posidonia oceanica. In addition, there is a jetty on the left side that helps to keep the sea calm in this area.
