Best used through a Port Balís dive center or club.
Port Balís - Aguas Confinadas is a shallow saltwater training area inside Port Balís, set up for first dives and course work. A gentle ramp keeps entry easy, and the water behaves more like a sheltered pool than an open-water site. Small Mediterranean life such as cuttlefish, octopus, sole, bream, and salps can show up in the shallows. It is a practical place for controlled skills practice rather than a scenic open-sea dive.
