Isla del Fraile (Águilas)
Isla del Fraile off Águilas offers three dives in the range 3–30 m over landslide seabeds. The east side 'Cresta' starts at about 5 m on seagrass (Posidonia) and drops to about 30 m over rock covered with invertebrates, with barracuda and big dentex; the south wall slopes to 30 m and is better for somewhat more experienced divers.
