About Piscinas de Neptuno
Piscinas de Neptuno is one of Jávea's most distinctive boat dives, threading into the Portitxol island through a narrow underwater canyon and out through siphon-like passages into natural pools. The appeal is the rock architecture, filtered light, and tight route shape rather than a long open-water swim. It suits divers who are comfortable with overhead sections and want a guided outing that depends on calm sea state.
