A British steam freighter sunk in 1917 by the ruthless action of the U-64, a well-known German submarine that wrought terror on Mediterranean sailing routes, this shipwreck rests in two halves, at a maximum depth of -33 metres on a bed of sand. Its general degree of difficulty means that it is advisable to leave this dive to experienced divers, who can enjoy the majestic keel, propeller and starboard anchor when visibility is favourable.

An extraordinary dive, where we can enjoy stunning back lighting effects created by a series of arches and rock gorges on the underwater islet. On this seabed, with rocky substrate alternating with sandy substrates, we can observe red scorpion fish, white sea bream and salema, and it is probable that we will run across slippery dusky
grouper. Small cracks and holes multiply on the islet's wall, where crustaceans such as lobster and slipper lobster, as well as meagre and moray eel, can be viewed.

Technical divers will have the chance to explore one of the shipwrecks or ships sunken during WWI in the waters near Vila Joiosa. There are 6 freight or passenger-freight ships, measuring between 68 and 122 metres in length, that fell prey to the German U-64 submarine's fire. They now rest at depths between - 65 and - 95 metres, and some of them are still in very good structural condition.

The isle, in front of Benidorm's iconic skyline, hides several great diving locations. It also has the advantage of offering different orientations, which provides for a safe haven in the event of variations in sea or wind conditions. All these dives are remarkable thanks to the clarity of the water. Here, there is more than 30 metre visibility, and life is brimming in every corner, with curtains of small damselfish, clouds of white sea bream and shoals of salema. Seabeds of great personality and beauty.

A small, picturesque cove, where we can dive from the coast. Using the left wall as a reference, at -3 metres, we go through a small rocky arch, and continue touring the numerous large rocks that flank the route, with hollows occupied by octopus and a few crustaceans, such as the slipper lobster. As we separate from the wall, the seabed is covered by posidonia (seed-bearing plants), home to species such as the needlefish and squid.

Around 6 miles from the Islas Columbretes (Columbretes Islands) in the open sea, volcanic lava was deposited on the seabed, creating a landscape with rocky canyons, arches and caves, all enveloped by totally transparent waters that are home to an explosive variety of fauna, including barracudas, Toothed Bream and immense schools of white seabream and Common Base, while the substrate is delicately covered by colourful vegetation.

Two freighters 50 metres long, sunk in 1995 at depths between -21 and -16 metres, offer divers the chance to experience unique sensations while peering into history, all while surrounded by clouds of fish who find their ideal shelter in these structures. We can go to the bridge and deck, escorted by an infinity of damselfish, and watch how the white seabream invade the hollows, while the Wreathy-Tuft-Tube Worm and nudibranchs discretely settle on the hull.

Almost on the outer limits of the Tabarca Marine Reserve, at the GPS point 38°09.231' N 0°25.902' W, the sounding line betrays the presence of a slab of rock, some 50 metres long by some eight metres wide, standing out on the bed of sand at a depth of 25 metres.

At a distance of about a hundred metres from the anchoring buoy of the La Llosa dive, and taking a course of some 100°, after a couple of minutes travelling along underwater, which it is best to do at the minimum depth to still be able to see the bottom, you come to what is known as The second Llosa. It is a huge vertical step which falls from some 32 metres deep to about 43 metres.

La Llosa is a submerged mountain with its peak some seven metres deep, situated a few hundred metres from the island of Benidorm, to which it bears a strong resemblance in its shape and layout. Its sides drop down steeply to a depth of 30 metres while on the western face the increase in depth is more gradual and gentle in the form of a slope.
