Costa Blanca boat drift with a compact swim-through
Costa Blanca boat drift with a compact swim-through
La brecha de Dany is a boat drift site on the Costa Blanca with a compact swim-through, a shallow finish, and a route that keeps the action in the mid-depth band rather than the shallow fringe. It suits certified divers who want a clear, rock-led pass with steady planning and easy photography moments more than a quick shallow snorkel stop. The boat follows the drift, so it works best when you want a guided route instead of a self-directed entry.
