Large offshore mountain dive with walls and tunnels
Large offshore mountain dive with walls and tunnels
Losa del Payo is a large offshore mountain dive with walls, gentle slopes, and tunnel sections that reward route choice and good navigation. It is the kind of site that can take more than one dive to cover properly, so the best plan is a controlled boat dive with current awareness, solid buoyancy, and enough gas margin to explore the route without hurrying. Divers who like a more involved route will get more from it than people looking for a simple out-and-back reef pass.

Large offshore site that often takes multiple dives, with walls, slopes, and tunnel sections.

Not a freedive-first site; the depth, current, and tunnel sections suit scuba better.

Not a casual snorkel site; the interesting terrain sits deeper and the exposure is too much for a relaxed float.
