This dive site, Reyes, is an advanced boat dive located off the coast of Spain, featuring a submerged bar formation with depths ranging between 25 and 35 meters. It is primarily suitable for advanced or deep certified divers due to its challenging depth profile. Divers will navigate around and within the complex rock structures of the bar, which serve as a rich habitat for various marine species. A flashlight is highly recommended to explore the many crevices and overhangs where much of the interesting marine life resides.
The highlight of Reyes is its thriving rock-dwelling marine life. Divers can expect to find moray eels, conger eels, and lobsters hiding within the rocky crevices and under ledges. At opportune times, usually dependent on the season and prevailing currents, there is also a chance to encounter larger pelagic species such as Moonfish (Mola Mola) or various types of Rays.
The best time to visit Reyes for the chance to see Moonfish or Rays would typically be during specific seasons, though the provided information doesn't specify. Divers should be well-prepared for deep diving and are advised to utilize Nitrox to maximize their bottom time at these depths. A dive light is essential for thoroughly exploring the darker parts of the rock formations. This site is not recommended for snorkelers or recreational freedivers due to its depth and the location of its main attractions.
