Your Snorkeling Adventure in Tabarca: caves, fish and adventure
Get ready for a marine adventure you won’t forget! We will meet you at 9:20 am at the port of Santa Pola, where this unforgettable experience begins. From there, we will head to the magical island of Tabarca, a natural paradise full of history, light and underwater life.
As soon as we arrive, we disembark on the island of Tabarca and we will tell you some curiosities about its environment, its legends and, of course, the incredible fish and marine fauna that we will see. You will learn to recognize them before you dive!
The first snorkeling session we will do in a spectacular place: the Sea Lion Cave, a corner with deep waters, intense blue tones and a visibility that looks like something out of a movie. After a 20 minute break to relax, we recharge our batteries and set off to explore other incredible spots, with more light and marine life.
We will continue to Escull Negre, one of the most exciting points of the route. This enclave is known for its rocky bottom, greater depth and the possibility of seeing species such as rays gliding across the sand or even some barracuda patrolling in the distance. It is a place that always surprises for its wild energy and the intensity of its colors underwater.
We will enjoy La Galera, a quiet but vibrant area, where the sunlight crosses the water generating magical sparkles on the seabed. Here you can relax, continue exploring or just float while the fish swim around you.
Each stop is unique, but they all have something in common: they are authentic underwater sanctuaries that remind us why Tabarca is one of the best snorkeling destinations in the Mediterranean, and the best thing is that you are going to experience it first hand!
After completing the theory and the confined water session we will proceed to make 4 dives in the sea. We will take you through the Mediterranean Sea to put into practice the skills learned in confined water. During the course we will always enter the water gradually and in a controlled manner prioritizing the two most important things for us: safety and fun. First we will practice and then we will start exploring the beautiful seabed.
