Tortuga, Mesta Diving School
With a mix of sand and rock on the seabed, you'll see octapuses, morays, nudibranchs and all manner of sea creatures and fish.
After a day diving or snorkelling with owner Hector Giourgis, head up the steps from the beach to a tiny cantina where the view is superb and the small selection are a perfect way to round off your day as the sun sets over the horizon.
