A shallow beach-entry dive in the Manaca area of Mojacar.
Manaca1 is a shallow shore dive in the Manaca area of Mojacar on the Almeria coast. It has a comfortable beach entry and stays in the easy recreational lane rather than becoming a long or technical route. Sand patches alternate with rocky sections, which makes the dive straightforward to read underwater and friendly for photographers, newer divers, and training sessions. Expect modest but pleasant marine life, including salpas, sargos, small octopus, and flatfish tucked into the mix of sand and stone.
