Castells

About this dive site

This dive site, Castells, is a boat dive characterized by significant rock formations at depths ranging from 27 to 35 meters, offering an underwater landscape suitable for both macro and wide-angle photography. The site's topography consists primarily of a rocky bar, with sandy areas on either side. Navigation is relatively straightforward, following the contours of the rock formations. There is no known historical significance or specific story attached to the site.

The marine life at Castells is diverse, with a notable population of moray eels, conger eels, and lobsters inhabiting the rock crevices. Sunfish and rays are occasional visitors. The rocky habitat also supports various smaller fish species and invertebrate life ideal for macro photography.

The best time to visit Castells is likely during the warmer months (May-October), when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally better. A UW light is highly recommended for exploring the rock formations and the many small crevices where the marine life congregates. Due to the depth, Nitrox is recommended for all divers, and this dive is not suitable for freediving or snorkeling.
