About Las Agujas

Las Agujas is a pair of shallow rock pinnacles off Isla de Mouro where the route wraps the needles and then runs back toward La Cala. The dive is straightforward on paper but becomes more demanding when the current is running, because you need to stay oriented while the boat handles the pickup. It suits divers who are comfortable with a guided coastal route and can keep a tight line to the rock.
