About this dive site

This dive site, El Rincon del Corsario, is an ideal boat dive located off the coast of Spain. It features a submerged bar structure with depths primarily between 25 and 35 meters, recommending it exclusively for advanced divers or those holding a Deep specialty certification. Underwater navigation focuses on exploring the rich, rocky formations of this bar, offering a varied topography.

The site is renowned for its diverse marine inhabitants dwelling within the rocks. Divers can frequently encounter moray eels and conger eels nestled in crevices, alongside various species of lobsters. During specific seasons, there is also the exciting possibility of spotting larger pelagic visitors such as sunfish or rays.

While the prime time for pelagic sightings is seasonal, specific months are not detailed. It is strongly advised that divers are adequately certified and equipped, with Nitrox recommended for optimal bottom time at these depths. Due to its advanced profile and significant depths, the site is not suitable for snorkeling or general freediving activities.
