Las Corvas – Cullera
Boat dive about two nautical miles off Cullera. The seabed is mostly sand with a rocky platform up to about 60 m across at roughly 19 m. The Generalitat page lists pen shell, occasional rays, lobsters, meagre, dusky grouper, white gorgonian and nudibranchs. The dive is flat and fairly deep, so nitrogen builds up quickly; about 40 minutes is suggested, ascending slowly along the boat's line. Position is the map pin on the page, approximate. The page pin is on the coast, so the position here is moved about 2 nautical miles east to match the stated distance offshore.
