Deeper Cap Dor point dive with rock life and lobster.
Deeper Cap Dor point dive with rock life and lobster.
Local timing matters because current and route choice affect the dive.
Rock Lobster is a rocky Mediterranean point off the southeast side of Cap Dor, worked through the Cap Dor or El Pesebre area. The dive centers on a single rock and the surrounding relief, so it feels like a deeper point dive rather than a casual shallow reef. Expect spiny lobsters, octopus, and other rock life, plus the kind of moving-water structure that keeps the route interesting.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Keep an eye on depth and gas because the site feels compact but is deeper than the nearby shore-friendly sites. Secure buoyancy matters around the rock and along the moving-water edge.
Access Restrictions
Boat access from the Moraira / Cap Dor side.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
This is a point dive rather than a reef wander. Expect a deeper profile, rock relief, and a route that rewards careful buoyancy and steady trim.
Freediving
Not a freedive target; the useful structure sits too deep and the site is built around scuba routing.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkeling site. The useful features are below casual surface range.
