The Biotop of Torredembarra is the first large underwater reef created in the Mediterranean.
The structure of the biotope has a conical, pyramid shape, and is made up of 40,000 tons of calcium carbonate rocks measuring between 1 and 2 m3.
The base of this impressive reef is located 34 meters deep and has a total height of 22 meters. The highest part of the underwater pyramid is 12 meters deep.
The construction of the Biotop of Torredembarra was completed in 2023 and the intention behind its project was to restore the ecological balance in the area, with the natural reintroduction of native species.
This project not only seeks to protect marine biodiversity, but also promotes environmental education and awareness in our society.
A year after its completion, the Biotop has an impressive permanent cloud of marine life around it, it has become one of the few known sunfish cleaning stations, so its sightings are common, and there have already been recorded several dives with dolphin sightings by divers.
In conclusion, the Torredembarra Biotop, with only one year of existence, has become an undisputed benchmark for underwater environmental studies and one of the most spectacular dives that can be done in the Mediterranean Sea.
