This dive site, Isla de los Conejos, is an archipelago located off Cuchia in Miengo, Spain. It comprises several islands including Conejera (or Cabrera), Segunda, Solita, Pasiega, and Casilda. The site is known for its diverse diving opportunities, suitable for all levels, from beginner Open Water Divers to advanced explorers. Underwater navigation primarily involves exploring the passages between the islands, which are typically around 10 meters deep and lead to various interesting 'electives' or features.
While the specific marine species are not detailed, the description mentions 'life control dives' implying a rich biodiversity. Divers can expect to encounter a variety of temperate fish species, crustaceans, and potentially some smaller invertebrates characteristic of the Cantabrian Sea. The rocky formations of the archipelago likely support a range of sponges, anemones, and other sessile marine life adapted to the region.
The best time to visit Isla de los Conejos for diving is typically during the warmer months when water temperatures are more comfortable and visibility is generally at its best. Its varied topography makes it an excellent site for underwater photography, particularly for wide-angle shots of the rock formations and swim-throughs. Both snorkelers and freedivers will find the shallow average depth and interesting passages highly suitable for their activities, offering ample exploration within breath-hold limits.
