Las Piscinas
Las Piscinas is a series of rocky gullies off Los Lances beach, visible from the shore, at 5-20 m with clear water and low difficulty. Ocean Addicts lists many nudibranchs (including the Spanish 'Vaquita Suiza'), schools of fish, dentex and morays; Alcaidesa Marina (12-18 m) mentions groupers, pollack and gallinetas. The current can help carry the diver along. Leon Marino and buceotarifa.com both list a 'La Piscina' site. Position estimated from the island outline, for orientation only.
