LIVEABOARD DIVING IN Tarifa

Tarifa is a small town located in the province of Cádiz, Andalusia that is also called the ‘capital of the wind’ because it is always windy there. The town is at the southernmost point of Spain and the Iberian Peninsula, so tourists can enjoy the spectacular views of the Reef Mountains of Africa across the water. Jerez Airport is located in 130 km from Tarifa. The town is especially popular among windsurfers and kite surfers because of the stiff winds. Tourists are also attracted to the 10km/6mi of white, sandy beaches, excellent tourist facilities, famous African Film Festival, and interesting historical sights such as the well-preserved Guzmán Castle, narrow streets of the Old Town, Church of St. Matthew (built in the early 16th century), and a bit further, the ruins of the Roman city of Baelo Claudia. It is a also a great place for whale and dolphin watching and for enthusiastic scuba divers. Ocean currents, often powerful, flow between the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, and encourage a rich ecosystem. There is also the Isla de las Palomas Natural Park that is teeming with marine species. In these crystal-clear waters there are more than 10 different dive sites, and divers can explore reefs, wrecks, caves, walls, tunnels, and shallow platforms. It is a wonderful place for underwater photography.
