The Second Llosa (La Llosa 2) – Benidorm
Dive site about 100 m from the La Llosa anchoring buoy: head about 100 degrees and swim along the bottom for a couple of minutes to reach a large vertical step falling from about 32 m to about 43 m. It holds an unusually dense concentration of marine life, including large lobsters, forkbeard, conger eels, nudibranchs and a colony of gorgonian (Paramuricea clavata); it is described as not very frequented and suitable only for divers of maximum ability with adequate experience. Bottom time is limited and the page advises leaving a bottle with regulators at about 5 m for possible decompression. Position is the map pin on that page, approximate.
