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.

Overhead environment
Safety Notes
The swim-through is straightforward when buoyancy is controlled, but the site still rewards a calm pace and good trim through the rock gap.
Access Restrictions
Use the local Moraira dive-center setup, and plan calm-water conditions for the swim-through and bay entry.
Legal Notes
No special permit surfaced in the sources; follow the local dive-center and marine-site rules for buoyancy and routing.

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.
