AccommodationThe surroundings of El Muellito and the two breakwaters of Playa Chica create a magical place to enjoy diving both during the day and at night. It’s the perfect spot to observe how the marine life changes after sunset.
This shallow dive is ideal for snorkeling, introductory dives, or beginner practices; even experienced divers enjoy it after excursions to the deeper walls.
Whether from shore or by boat, this area offers more than 10 different routes for all levels. For those who want to snorkel, experience a try dive (introductory dive), or even enjoy a night dive, this place is ideal due to the abundant marine life concentrated at Playa Chica and near the shore up to El Muellito.
In the sunlight, schools of mullet, salema, seabream, rainbow wrasse, striped seabream, colorful emerald wrasse, and snipefish almost manage to hypnotize us. A close look at the rocks will reveal vibrant sea slugs like the Hypselodoris picta species or the harlequin crab.
At night, the sand hosts a fauna that is entirely different from what appears during the day. The nocturnal sandy bottom transforms into a true garden, filled with anemones and all kinds of animals such as clownfish, octopuses, and curiosities like fabians, Mediterranean congers, and comb jellies. As the sun sets, most fish go to sleep, making way for the invertebrates. Notable are the narwhal shrimp that ascend from the depths to feed, the spotted shrimp, and the harlequin crab.
