About Cap Dor
Cap Dor is a short rocky Mediterranean headland dive just off Moraira, with a sloping wall, cracks and small cavettes that concentrate Western Mediterranean life. It is a good route for confident scuba divers who like structure, seagrass edges and the feel of a classic Costa Blanca coastal site rather than an open-ocean drop-off.
