Altea

Altea is a coastal town in Spain within the Valencian Community, positioned on the Mediterranean coast. It acts as a gateway for visitors exploring the Costa Blanca and nearby dive sites along the western Mediterranean basin. While the town itself isn’t a major diving hub, there are local dive centers and nearby coastal sites suitable for day trips, training dives, and coastal snorkeling. Freshwater immersion options are limited locally, with La Albufera lake offering a regional freshwater environment a short distance away. For divers, Altea provides access to Mediterranean wrecks, reefs, and rocky formations along the coast, with conditions generally typical of the western Mediterranean: warm summers, mild winters, clear water, and moderate visibility depending on weather and currents.
