| Scuba diving. The area outside
of Gibraltar Harbour attracts divers from all over the world because of
its many ship wrecks. One such example is the SS Rosslyn which resides
in just over 20 metres of water and provides some excellent photographic
opportunities. The Camp Bay area has been designated a marine
conservation area and is a 'must see' for diving enthusiasts.
Dolphins. A dolphin-watching trip
is the most enjoyable way of seeing these fascinating mammals up close
and there are several boat trips to choose from. In addition to no fewer
than three species of dolphin, whales also migrate here, including the
largest mammal of them all, the Blue Whale. The favourable Mediterranean
climate makes for sightings of a variety of rare species of birds,
dolphins, whales, fish and turtles.
Several operators provide dolphin
watching excursions. Go to
