This dive site, Las Langostas (The Lobsters), is an advanced deep dive situated near the base of Mount Ulia in Spain. Divers navigate a dramatic vertical wall that begins at a minimum depth of 20 meters and plunges down the north face to a depth of 40 meters. The site is aptly named 'Las Langostas' due to the abundant presence of lobsters found thriving along its rocky ledges and crevices.
The marine life here is rich and varied, offering sights of dense banks of pea, bogas, and bream, alongside triggerfish and moonfish. Macro enthusiasts will be delighted by the numerous nudibranchs, octopuses, cuttlefish, and conger eels. Furthermore, the site is home to various crustaceans including spider crabs, scrapie, and, of course, the namesake lobsters.
The best time to visit Las Langostas would typically be during calmer sea conditions to fully appreciate the deep wall and its vibrant ecosystem. This site is specifically recommended for advanced divers due to its significant depth, with a maximum recreational depth of 28 meters. Its impressive vertical topography and rich invertebrate life also make it a thrilling location for experienced freedivers seeking deep wall encounters.
