A shore-based Mount Ulia dive with east-west slabs, merchant anchors, and a dense mix of small marine life.
About Las Grietas
Las Grietas is a coastal Mount Ulia dive built from east-west slabs, cracks, and merchant anchors that keep the dive compact but textured. The site is more about structure and small-life detail than big walls, with nudibranchs, octopus, cuttlefish, conger eels, and spider crabs crowding the rock line when the sea is calm.
