Shallow rock dive with holes and small life
La Xonimira is a shallow near-coast Catalan rock dive with porous formations, holes, and small marine life that make it a relaxed long dive for people who want to look around rather than cover distance. Nudibranchs, barracudas, and other tucked-away fauna are the draw, and the site fits beginner practice and slow-paced photo sessions when the sea is calm.
