This dive site, Épave de Lougne, features a small, well-smashed tugboat wreck lying at a maximum depth of 22 meters, with an average depth around 11 meters. Located behind the serene Lougne Island, part of the Magdalen Islands, the wreck site includes the tugboat's diesel tank and is surrounded by vibrant rocky structures. While the wreck itself is 'well smashed,' offering interesting structures to explore, divers will also find plenty to see in the lively rocky areas, making navigation relatively straightforward by following the natural topography.
The marine life at Épave de Lougne is abundant, making the surrounding rocks particularly full of life. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of species typical of the Magdalen Islands, including dory, octopus, trumpetfish, flutefish, cicadas, lobsters, scorpionfish, capon, damselfish, and surgeonfish. The diversity of smaller marine life provides excellent opportunities for macro photography and close observation.
While specific best times to visit are not detailed, diving in Senegal is generally good year-round. This site is excellent for divers interested in exploring a coastal wreck combined with rich reef life. Freedivers will also find the average depth of 11 meters and maximum depth of 22 meters suitable for training and exploration, particularly around the shallower rocky sections.
