About Puerto Fenicio
Puerto Fenicio is a shallow Atlantic-side Tarifa dive with a rocky and sandy bottom that works well for buoyancy practice, easy check dives, and relaxed snorkeling. The site is simple to reach, and the weather-sensitive Atlantic side makes it a practical fallback when easterly winds are up. It also works well for calm night dives and easy restarts after time away from diving.
