la Xinxa, l'Escala, Spain

The Xinxa is a small rock formation that rises from -11 meters deep and culminates in two peaks, one of which rises above the water. Below the surface, the two summits rest on a rocky platform between -10 and -12 meters deep. To the east, the rocky slope descends opening up to a series of pebbles that create paths between them. Here you can observe red coral, lobster and octopus.

On the north side, the rocky platform ends in a shelf that descends 4 meters (from -14 to -18 meters), hosting a large coralligenous community along with abundant marine life. To the east, there is a summit that does not protrude from the water, pierced by a short tunnel of 4 meters that opens a path from north to south at -9 meters, allowing the passage of divers and is covered with invertebrates.

La Xinxa, with its proximity to the town of l'Escala, offers a unique diving experience, combining the natural beauty of its rock formations and tunnels with the rich marine biodiversity of the region. This dive site is suitable for divers of all levels, providing both tranquility and adventure in the crystal clear waters of the coast of l'Escala.
