Boat-accessed seamount off Mazarron for experienced divers who want a current-managed route, dense fish life, and a steep drop rather than a relaxed reef.
About FREO

Routes are chosen by certification and flow, and the payoff is dense Mediterranean life, big schooling fish, and occasional pelagic surprises over the rocky summit.
