El Emisario / Twin Pipes

About this dive site

This dive site, known as El Emisario or Twin Pipes, features two large underwater tubes forming an emissary. The tubes themselves are a fascinating element of the dive, providing shelter and a unique landscape. The site's location is described as within a larger platform, and navigation is relatively straightforward, following the tubes and exploring the surrounding sandy areas. Information on the history of the emissary structure is lacking, but its importance as an ecological habitat is evident.

The site boasts a rich variety of marine life, thanks to the structure's role as a refuge. Divers and freedivers can expect to see moray eels, sardines, pigeons (likely referring to seabream or similar), and angel sharks. The contrast between the rock and sand creates diverse habitats and thus various species.

The best time to visit El Emisario is likely during the warmer months (spring to autumn) in Spain, when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally better. Divers and freedivers should check current conditions before embarking on their dives, as even mild currents can affect the experience. Appropriate buoyancy control is essential to avoid disturbing the marine life and to ensure safe exploration of the pipes.
