La Punta

A boat ride out, too far to swim from any beach nearby, drops divers onto a single large rock sitting at 30 to 34 metres. There isn't much route to describe beyond that: no wall to follow, no arches to swim through, just one substantial formation deep enough that casual spearfishing rarely reaches it. That depth is the whole story here. Moray eels, conger eels, and lobsters shelter in numbers that the shallower sites nearby don't match, which is where the rock earns its local nickname: roca de langostas, lobster rock. Expect cooler water than the surface suggests, and keep a close eye on gas and no-decompression limits at this depth.

Every other site near the Ifach stays inside Open Water limits, or close to it. La Punta doesn't. It's the one dive in the area built entirely around depth as a filter: too deep for a beginner, too deep for most spearfishers, which is exactly why the lobsters, morays, and congers here do better than at the shallower boat dives nearby. This is the site for a certified Advanced Open Water diver who wants a genuine deep dive rather than a training-friendly profile. It asks for the gas planning and buoyancy control that depth demands.

This is a weather-dependent site. Currents and swell can occasionally rule it out for the day, so confirm conditions with your dive center before you commit to the booking. Spanish recreational diving rules cap no-decompression diving at 40 metres, which covers this site's profile but leaves less margin than a shallower dive would. Spring and autumn generally bring calmer weather for reaching it, though it can be dived across much of the year when conditions allow. Plan gas conservatively, dive with a computer, and treat the deeper end of the range with the respect any 30m-plus profile deserves.
