La Llosa – Benidorm (Serra Gelada)
Submerged mountain a few hundred metres from Benidorm island, resembling it in shape and layout, with large rock formations (some with tunnels), rich marine life and very good visibility. The peak is about 7 m; the sides drop steeply to about 30 m and the western face slopes more gently. The Generalitat page gives the bottom of the NE route as 29 m and a platform at about 8 m from the northern mooring buoy. La Llosa is dived by Ali-Sub, Celacanto and others. Position is the map pin on the Generalitat page, approximate.
