LA MANGA -
ISLA GROSA
An underwater
heritage site rich
in biodiversity.
The northern area of La Manga offers
a whole range of different diving
possibilities, from photographing seahorses
in the Mar Menor, to shipwrecks from
World War I, to the protected area of the
Isla Grosa (island).
Surrounded by Neptune Grass, the area's
reefs generate veritable aquariums, not to
mention remnants of the ancient Phoenician
and Roman civilisations, or those of
19th-century freighters.
Thus, the range of diving options in this
area offers something for everyone, from
very basic dives, to more demanding ones,
even technical diving.
In addition, on diving outings to the Isla
Grosa one can spot numerous species
of protected birds, such as the Audouin’s
gull, storm petrel, European shag and
the peregrine falcon, as the island is a
SPA (Special Protection area for Birds).
La Isla Grosa and the Islote del Farallón
(islet), of volcanic origin, are protected areas,
as they have been designated both a SCI
(Site of Community Importance) and a SPA.
