Punta Marroquí de Levante is the Mediterranean-side Tarifa wall-and-reef route: a buoyed, rope-descent dive with mixed rock, wreck metal, and current-sensitive planning that rewards experienced divers who can work with the day's wind and flow rather than fight them. It is a park-managed boat dive that changes character with conditions.
