Las Termas is a boat-only dive on the south side of Portitxol, off Jávea. The route runs over a narrow submarine platform with a shallow top and a deeper outer edge, then through an open-top canyon and several arches. It is an easy, planning-friendly Mediterranean site with clear water, strong rock relief, and classic wall life rather than coral. Expect a calm boat dive best matched to settled sea and wind, with bass, sea bream, octopus, and other fish using the rock cuts.
