About El Pesebre
El Pesebre is a sheltered Moraira bay dive centered on a lit swim-through between Mushroom Rock and the 3 Amigos. The site is shallow and easy to read, with rock formations that hold octopus, baby morays, scorpionfish, and barracuda, making it a good fit for Open Water divers who want a simple but scenic Mediterranean profile. Conditions are most comfortable when the sea is calm and the winter wave periods are long.

Local Intel For El Pesebre
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A shallow bay dive with a lit swim-through and easy rock structure. Good for buoyancy practice, relaxed pacing, and scenic Mediterranean fish life.
Freediving
Only the shallowest bay water makes sense for freediving; the swim-through and rock features are better suited to scuba.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling can work in very calm water because the bay is shallow and clear, but the signature swim-through is best left to scuba.
