A local Tabarca operator is the practical default for reserve access and buoy selection.
La Llosa (merolandia) is a Tabarca reserve dive built around a submerged mountain with a shallow summit and a steep eastern face, so it feels like a long wall-and-ridge traverse rather than a quick reef stop. It is worth the trip for certified divers who want strong marine life, clear water, and a route that rewards buoyancy control and a controlled ascent. The site is boat-led and reserve-managed, so the dive is best when you treat the planning and buoyancy as part of the experience.
