Escull de Sant Pere is a vertical pinnacle rising from a sandy seabed at 32 metres to the surface near Javea. This site features a distinctive Y-shaped cave that cuts through the islet, offering a challenging overhead environment with sections that lose natural light. Divers must maintain careful buoyancy to avoid disturbing the sandy bottom. The site is accessible only by boat and is suited to intermediate divers due to the depth and cave navigation. Conditions include mild currents and visibility ranging from 10 to 30 metres. Hazards include boat traffic, potential nitrogen narcosis, and the overhead environment within the cave system.
