Las Calderas Diving - Spain, Spain

Las Calderas is an advanced dive site near Tarifa in the Strait of Gibraltar, reaching 20 meters depth. Named 'the cauldrons' for the circular rock formations that resemble natural cauldrons on the seabed, this site features unique geological structures filled with marine life. The cauldron-shaped depressions create sheltered microhabitats where groupers, moray eels, and crustaceans congregate, while the surrounding reef is swept by the strait's powerful currents bringing nutrients and pelagic species. The mixing zone of Atlantic and Mediterranean waters produces exceptional biodiversity. Current exposure and the need for precise dive planning make Las Calderas suitable for advanced divers seeking the strait's unique underwater treasures.
