El Salto

El Salto is an intermediate dive site off La Herradura on the Costa Tropical, reaching 24 meters depth. Named 'the jump' for the dramatic drop-off where the shallow reef plunges into deeper water, this site offers exciting topography with walls, overhangs, and boulder fields. The drop-off edge is a prime location for spotting larger marine life, with groupers, moray eels, and barracuda patrolling the transition zone. The shallower reef hosts octopuses, nudibranchs, and schools of Mediterranean fish, while the deeper wall sections reveal small gorgonian fans and cup corals. The site's varied depth profile makes it interesting for intermediate divers progressing to deeper diving.
