Peñon S'Aguilot

This dive site, Peñon S'Aguilot, located off the coast of Spain, offers an exciting underwater experience for divers of intermediate level. The dive involves navigating through several holes and tunnels, exploring a small wreck, and discovering the remains of a plane wing. The varying depths from 6 to 17 meters (though the description mentions a maximum depth of 35 meters, this seems to be an error, as the depth information is confirmed at 17m), make it suitable for divers of moderate experience and skill. The underwater topography is interesting and diverse, offering a combination of open water, tunnels, and wreck exploration. The marine life is abundant and varied, with a rich biodiversity including octopus, cuttlefish, scorpionfish, rockfish, red mullet, moray eel, conger eel, barracuda, nudibranchs, yellow madrépora coral, sea feathers, sabela, and red serpula. The presence of a wreck and varied habitats ensures ample opportunities for spotting diverse species. The mixture of macro and larger life make this a good overall diving experience. The best time to visit Peñon S'Aguilot is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer) when water visibility is typically better and the sea is calmer. However, currents can be variable, so checking local conditions before diving is recommended. This is a good site for both scuba divers and freedivers who want to explore different aspects of the dive site given the varying depths. Remember to be mindful of the tunnels and the wreck, paying close attention to your buoyancy and navigation, especially within the tunnels.
