The waters of the Strait of Gibraltar harbor very important natural values, which is why discoveries of new species for science are still taking place in this area. More than 1,900 species of marine flora and fauna have been recorded, the most frequent and important being the loggerhead turtle, the dolphin or the porpoise. In this place, ideal for diving, you can enjoy extensive seaweed meadows, indicators of the environmental quality of the water, with the kelp standing out for its spectacular size.<\/p>[\/et_pb_cta][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_button button_url=”#empresas” button_text=”Companies dedicated to diving” button_alignment=”left” module_class=”boton” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_text_size=”16px” button_text_color=”#000000″ button_bg_color=”#FFC845″ button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”0px” button_letter_spacing=”0px” button_font=”||||||||” button_use_icon=”off” position_origin_f=”top_center” custom_margin_tablet=”-13px||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”0px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”off|desktop” custom_padding=”10px|10px|10px|10px|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”12px|30px|12px|30px|true|true” custom_padding_phone=”10px|20px|10px|20px|true|true” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” button_text_size_tablet=”13px” button_text_size_phone=”12px” button_text_size_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}” button_bg_color__hover=”#019ca3″ button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off|desktop”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_stops=”rgba(255,255,255,0) 0%|rgba(0,171,142,0.1) 100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Title” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ text_font=”Noto Sans||||||||” text_font_size=”17px” text_line_height=”2em” link_font=”||||||||” ul_font=”||||||||” ol_font=”||||||||” quote_font=”||||||||” header_font=”||||||||” header_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”44px” header_2_line_height=”1.5em” header_3_font=”||||||||” module_alignment=”center” header_2_font_size_tablet=”” header_2_font_size_phone=”34px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]
Tarifa is at the mercy of the currents provided by the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, which keep the water clean and allow the development of a large number of species.<\/p>\n
In it, is the Island of Tarifa, within the Natural Park of the Strait, where divers of all levels can enjoy the best dives in the area.<\/p>\n
La Garita, La Piscina, La Pared, on the Levante side or Las Calles, Las Calderas on the West side, among others.<\/p>\n
For the most expert divers, we have other dive sites such as San Andr\u00e9s, Punta Marroqu\u00ed (Mediterranean and Atlantic), as well as a series of sunken ships If you are over 12 years old, after a short theoretical talk, you can go to experience the sensation of breathing underwater and be able to see species such as octopus, cuttlefish or scorpion fish a few meters away. During this experience you will be able to reach a depth maximum of 6 meters.<\/p>\n
If you liked this first experience and want to obtain your first diver’s qualification, the next step is to take the Open Water Diver course, for which the requirements will be to have turned 14 years old and to have passed an examination carried out by a sports doctor. This course consists of a theoretical part and a practical part. The theory consists of watching a video, reading a manual, and passing a final exam. The practical part is divided into one or two confined water sessions (shallow water, from the beach) and four open water dives, these dives are made from a boat and the maximum depth will be 18 meters.<\/p>\n
From there you will be able to level up with the following courses, all of them endorsed by the PADI Association, the most international diving association.<\/p>\n
If you are a diver or simply want to experience the sensation of breathing underwater and do your courses, come to Tarifa and experience it.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_id=”empresas” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/turismodetarifa.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/logo.png” title_text=”logo” _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” width=”92%” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” transform_translate_linked__hover=”off” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” transform_styles__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” transform_scale__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” transform_translate__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” transform_rotate__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” transform_skew__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” transform_origin__hover_enabled=”off|desktop” transform_scale__hover=”105%|105%” transform_translate__hover=”10px|0px”]
