The needles are two pinnacles or rock formations that we have to the northwest of the island of Mouro, on which we can dive in a circle, observing how they project to the surface, since their upper part is only 7 meters from it.

The needles are two pinnacles or rock formations that we have to the northwest of the island of Mouro, on which we can dive in a circle, observing how they project to the surface, since their upper part is only 7 meters from it. The usual thing is that the boat pulls us over them and we sail south towards the island ending the dive in "la Cala" where the boat awaits us anchored. There are times when we find quite a current against it so it is advisable to do it with a compass so as not to get lost. There is little life around it but the rock formation has some interest, although it is more than likely that on the way back to the island of Mouro we will find large schools of chicharrillos or sardines and around them always lurking large sea bass and sea bream that feast every time they attack the school. It is also common to come across a multitude of nudibranchs, the occasional spider crab and octopus during the dive.
