El Boquete
Tarifa, Cadiz, and the Strait of Gibraltar: shore dive
About El Boquete
A shore dive in current-shaped coastline where tide, wind, and flow shape the dive, built around a site-specific underwater feature. The route is compact and feature-led rather than sprawling. Planning-wise, a steady guide briefing and calm sea window usually make the day smoother.
