About this dive site

This dive site, La Hispaniola, is located off the coast of Spain, accessible only by boat. It is primarily a deep dive, with depths ranging from 30 to 45 meters, making it exclusively suitable for expert divers possessing a Deep specialty certification or proven experience in deep and technical diving. The site features an interesting rocky underwater landscape, providing various crevices and structures for exploration. There is no specific historical information or complex navigation details provided, indicating a focus on the natural topography.

The marine life at La Hispaniola is notably diverse, with a strong emphasis on rock-dwelling species and macro life. Divers can expect to find moray eels, conger eels, and lobsters seeking shelter within the abundant rocky formations. The site is particularly celebrated for its very common and varied macro life, especially different types of nudibranchs, which makes it an excellent location for underwater macro photography.

The best time to visit La Hispaniola generally corresponds with the peak diving season in the region, typically from late spring to early autumn, when the water temperatures are more comfortable and sea conditions are usually calmer. Given the significant depths and the requirement for expert-level skills, this site is not recommended for snorkeling or recreational freediving. Divers must ensure they possess the necessary certifications, experience, and equipment to safely undertake these challenging deep dives.
