El Cabezón

This dive site, El Cabezón, is located off the coast of Spain and features a rocky bottom with interspersed sandy strips. Its varied topography, ranging from 12 to 18 meters in depth, makes navigation relatively straightforward for divers of all skill levels. The location's distance from the shore necessitates boat access, adding to the overall adventure.

The diverse marine ecosystem is a major draw. Divers can expect to encounter a wide array of species, including angel sharks, rays, mackerel, barracudas, groupers, morays, octopuses, cuttlefish, and numerous smaller fish and crustaceans. The rocky structures provide excellent habitat for a variety of invertebrates and smaller fish, while the open sandy areas offer opportunities for observing larger pelagic species.

The best time to visit El Cabezón is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer) when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally better. Divers should be aware of potential currents, although typically mild. For freediving, the shallower areas of the site are more appropriate for breath-hold diving, ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience. Always check the weather and sea conditions before embarking on your dive.
