El Ala

About this dive site

This dive site features a Cessna plane wreck resting at approximately 30 meters, though the maximum dive depth is 24 meters. The plane's wing is the main attraction, and the navigation is straightforward. There's a small reef adjacent to the wreck. The site has no specific historical background aside from the wreck itself.

The marine life is quite diverse, featuring anemones, various shrimp species, and occasional reef lobsters within the plane's wing. The small reef is home to tiny gorgonians and larger spider crabs. A variety of smaller fish species can also be expected around both the wreck and the reef.

The best time to visit would likely be during the warmer months (May-October) when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally better. This is a suitable dive for those comfortable with managing their air consumption at moderate depths. The site is not ideal for snorkeling or freediving due to the depth and the need to explore the wreck.
