There is so much to discover in this part of Andalucia with the Alhambra perched high above Granada city, the Alpujarra and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges interspersed with pretty white villages and of course the delicious food and wine.

But there is another world waiting to be discovered beneath the surface of the Mediterranean sea skirting the region’s Costa Tropical. In the summer, the waters are crystal clear and warm boasting an abundance of colours and fish. There are many places where you can easily discover hidden treasures with just a mask and snorkel including Playa Rijana near Castell de Ferro, Playa Alfa Mar in Salobreña and Marina del Este in la Herradura.

However to really experience the underwater world you should go for a scuba dive and local diving company Seriously Blue has the equipment and know-how to offer you a taste of the underwater-hot-spots along the Costa Tropical. Experienced divers can go for guided fun dives where you may encounter large schools of all kinds of fish, octopus and sepias, colourful wrasses, hermit crabs with anemones on there backs, moray eels, Spanish dancers, huge groupers, orange anemone fields and if you are lucky you might even meet the amazing Mola Mola!

For non-divers, there is a Discover Scuba Dive program for which you need no diving experience, other than an ability to swim and a taste for adventure. This half day program will include a basic instruction by experienced and professional dive staff, information on how to use the gear as well as safety concepts. Finally you will make a first real scuba dive accompanied with a dive instructor to ensure a safe. Fun and exciting experience.
