Acerca de El Elmo
El Elmo es una inmersión poco profunda desde barco sobre roca y Posidonia, frente a Aguadulce, con derrubios de roca, arena y pastos marinos que crean un perfil sencillo apto para principiantes y rico en vida bentónica. Se llega con una corta navegación desde el Puerto Deportivo y premia más el nado lento y fácil que la profundidad.

Keep your trim slow and steady over the rocks and Posidonia. The site is easy, but the boat run and low-relief terrain still reward clean buoyancy.

Legal Notes
Follow local marine-protection rules and the day-of guidance from the dive center.

Scuba
A beginner-friendly scuba dive with low relief, a short boat ride, and plenty of small-life detail in the rocks and seagrass.
Freedive
A calm-day freedive is possible because the site is shallow, but it is primarily a beginner scuba reef.
Snorkel
Snorkeling can work in calm water, but the site is better known as a shallow scuba route over rocks and Posidonia.
