Morro de Toix is a boat-access wall dive with rocky ledges.
Use a local boat operator; the route is normally planned around the cape turn and anchoring point.
Morro de Toix is a boat-access cliff and wall dive between Altea and Calpe, where rocky ledges, sand pockets, and small caves create a classic Mediterranean profile. The route works around the cape and back along the wall, with damselfish, breams, nudibranchs, lobsters, slipper lobsters, and groupers in the rock and transition zones. It is best on settled days, when current stays moderate and visibility is less likely to drop on the wall.

Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards

Keep buoyancy tight on the wall, plan the turn with the current, and watch the boat lane on ascent. The rocky transitions reward slow finning and clean trim.
Access Restrictions
Boat route and operator planning are part of the normal setup; timing the turn point matters.
Legal Notes
Follow local marine-area rules and the operator’s route instructions.
