Boat dive with rock towers and posidonia in a sheltered cove.
Punta de las Animas is a relaxed boat dive that follows a rocky cliff and tower-like outcrops through patches of posidonia seagrass before crossing sandy sections and returning on a multilevel profile. The sheltered cove and existing mooring make the site straightforward, while the deeper return keeps it more interesting than a simple flat reef swim. It suits training dives and controlled profiles more than quick shallow snorkeling.

Scuba Diving
Two linked profiles make this a varied boat dive, with a rocky wall, tower-like formations, and a cave section with backlighting.
Freediving
This is not a freedive-first site; the depth change and boat profile make scuba the natural fit.
Snorkeling
Snorkeling is not the normal use case here because the dive is built around a boat descent and a multilevel return.
