Scuba diving in Benidorm, for beginners and experts
Benidorm is one of the areas in Spain where you can find one of the best and cleanest bottom of the sea, ideal to practice scuba diving.

The Benidorm Island is a tourist attraction on its own, but it is normally busy due to its exceptional seafloor areas. Some of the most well-known ones for diving are: The North side, 'el Garbí' and the 'Bombo' cave, but the most remarkable area is the one called 'el Bajo de la Llosa' at 300 meters on the south of the island.

You can get up to more than 30 meters depth in the 'Bajo de la Llosa' mainly because of the crystal clear waters in the Mediterranean Sea. It is a beautiful place to scuba dive because of the amount of light you get, mainly in the early afternoon. It is ideal for expert divers or for beginners, because you can find a shallow area for the beginners and a deeper one for the experts.

The sea nature lovers can enjoy the fauna and flora all around the Benidorm Island area: It is usual to find morays, octopus or bogas when you dive. It is surprising the vision of different coloured sponges on the rocks and how the shoals of damselfish pass by.

There are different clubs in Benidorm that organize scuba diving trips. There are some hotels and camping sites in Benidorm that have agreed plans for divers with these clubs. You can find some of them in the Marina area, some offer training courses or advance lessons for expert scuba divers.

Wakeboard and cable ski, aquatic sports for the adrenaline lovers
Apart from the 'usual' sports like sailing or windsurf, the Benidorm sport offer gets special with these two sports that will attract those sport lovers looking for a new and thrilling experience.

Wakeboard and cable ski are based on aquatic ski, but without a boat to propel the person. The cable ski
circuit made in the 60's in Benidorm was the first one build in the sea. The circuit is located in the Levante beach and consists in 4 towels connected by a cable where you can move at a high speed, either with a board (wakeboard) or skies (cable ski).

On top of that, as the boat is not necessary it is possible to have more than one person practicing the sport at the same time, which makes this activity ideal for groups of friends. It is only necessary to be averagely fit and to follow some basic rules and technique. After that you can enjoy the sea, the sun and the speed.
