Rosia Bay

Rosia Bay is among the most popular dive sites in Gibraltar. Steeped in history, this area has a variety of features. This bay itself – sheltered and easily accessible – is a perfect spot for training as well as recording marine life such as seahorses. Expect to come across admiralty anchors and cannons as well as other anchors dating back to Roman times! Rosia Bay was also the Victualling Yard where Lord Admiral Nelson’s body was brought ashore in the HMS Victory after his triumph at the Battle of Trafalgar. The spectacular Seahawk wreck can be accessed just a short swim from the bay.
