Acerca de La Cala
La Cala, resguardada en Isla de Mouro, es una zona de buceo con fondeo para barcos en la boca de la bahía de Santander. El fondo es sobre todo de arena y roca, con abundante microfauna en las algas, por lo que el sitio se adapta mejor al buceo en aguas tranquilas y de observación cercana que a un paso prolongado entre túneles o a un perfil profundo. Aun así, la marea y el estado de la superficie importan, porque la entrada a la bahía puede convertir la misma cala fácil en un acceso menos indulgente.
