This dive site, Los Cubos, offers a unique wreck diving experience among artificial structures originally used for turbot breeding. Divers navigate through these submerged installations, which have become an artificial reef. The site's history as an aquaculture project gives it a distinctive character, providing an intriguing blend of human intervention and natural marine habitat, with occasional lines or debris found on the sand.
The structures at Los Cubos provide shelter for a variety of marine life. Notably, the holes and corners of these installations are frequently inhabited by conger eels and moray eels, making them common sightings. While not explicitly mentioned, other local fish species, crustaceans, and possibly some soft corals or anemones would likely colonize such structures.
The site is best visited by advanced divers, with nitrox recommended to enhance bottom time and safety given the site's nature. While the maximum depth is 25 meters and average depth is approximately 12 meters, the recommendation for advanced level diving suggests complex navigation or specific interests. Freedivers with appropriate training could also explore the shallower sections and structures for marine life, enjoying the unique underwater scenery year-round.
