About this dive site

This dive site consists of three intentionally sunk wrecks: a tugboat, a Harrier jet, and a helicopter, created by the Spanish Navy. The wrecks are situated on a sandy seabed, providing excellent shelter and attracting a diverse array of marine life. Navigation is straightforward; the wrecks themselves serve as prominent landmarks, and the sandy bottom offers easy orientation. The wrecks are relatively close together, allowing for exploration of all three during a single dive.

The wrecks' structure provides habitats for various marine species, including groupers, haddocks, sole, morays, conger eels, ascidians, anemones, and octopuses. The sandy areas between the wrecks also support a variety of life. The overall biodiversity is high and caters to divers interested in both macro and wide-angle photography.

The best time to visit is during the warmer months (spring and summer) when visibility is typically best, and water temperatures are more comfortable. Divers should be aware of potential mild currents and maintain buoyancy control around the wrecks. Due to the depth and the requirement for scuba gear, this site is not suitable for freediving or snorkeling.
