About Los Arcos
Los Arcos is a shallow rocky dive off Calpe on Spain's Costa Blanca, where fallen boulders and stone arches create a maze of swim-throughs. The site is easy to read and relaxed to dive, with sponges, anemones, and fish life packed around the arches and rock walls. Damselfish, wrasse, scorpionfish, moray eels, octopus, and rays make it a classic small-structure dive rather than a big-depth outing.
