Piedras Altas
Advanced boat dive with walls, caves, and strong fish life.
La Herradura boat dive with a rocky wall, caves, and strong current for experienced divers.
About Piedras Altas
Boat dive off La Herradura on the west side of Punta de la Mona, where the seabed drops into a dramatic rocky wall with caves, crevices, and large formations. It is an advanced site for experienced divers who want deeper profiles, stronger current, and rich Mediterranean fish life rather than an easy swim-around. The profile rewards good buoyancy, careful gas planning, and comfort on boat entries.
