Video: Dolphins member Eileen Kelly shares her experience with a (friendly?) group of groupers filmed at Tabarca Marine Reserve on Spain's Costa Blanca. So, there are fish in the Mediterranean. Who knew?

Eileen is based in Spain for the summer and usually dives out of El Campello, a former fishing port north of Alicante. She regularly visits Benidorm Island, where there are some very nice dives, and the Tabarca Marine Reserve. 

Eileen's verdict? "A very enjoyable dive, maximum depth 26m and reliable sightings of numerous groupers, which are very tame."
