After passing through a narrow strait which separates the Bleda menor from an islet, you dive down off the latter´s SW side where the anchor comes to rest in 10 metres of water, You gain depth fairly quickly and are inmediately aware of an impressive drop down to the sea floor. Keep the shelf to your right and heat an a NW direction, and slightly more than 30 metres down you will see the first examples from the spectacular underwater gardens of vivid red gorgonias or sea fans. Because of the depth they can only be seen properly with a good torch. The entire wall is covered with this delicate living colony which looks like the intricate skeleton of a brightly coloured bush.
