Isla de Mouro – La Cala
La Cala is the sheltered southwest-side mooring area of Isla de Mouro, a rocky limestone island at the mouth of Santander Bay (nature reserve since 1986 according to Mourosub). Mourosub lists it at 3-8 m for basic divers and good for macro photography; Buceo Pedreña gives 5-9 m on rock and sand and calls it the usual starting point for training dives. Position estimated from the nearest coast or published location text, for orientation only.
