About this dive site

This dive site, known as Rock Lobster, is located southeast of Cap Dor, off the coast of Spain. It can be accessed in conjunction with dives at El Pesebret or Cap Dor. The main feature is a prominent single large rock situated between 23 and 26 meters deep, with the site's maximum depth at 23 meters. This rock serves as a unique habitat and navigation point, though no specific history or story behind the name is provided.

The site is particularly noted for being home to various crustaceans, most notably Langousts and Slippery Lobsters, which are the main draw for divers. While not explicitly mentioned, the Mediterranean waters around a prominent rock structure would likely host a variety of Mediterranean reef fish and possibly some soft corals or gorgonians typical of the region, adding to the marine diversity.

The best time to visit this site would likely be during the warmer months of late spring to early autumn when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally at its best in the Mediterranean. Divers should be prepared for a dive reaching depths of up to 23 meters to fully appreciate the main rock and its inhabitants. For experienced freedivers, reaching the rock at 23-26m might be a challenging but rewarding experience, focusing on observing the unique lobster species.
