This dive site consists of two intentionally sunk wrecks located on a sandy seabed approximately five minutes from Puerto Colon harbor in Spain. The wrecks are positioned at a maximum depth of 20 meters, making navigation straightforward. The lack of significant rock formations or other reference points means divers should pay close attention to their depth gauge and dive plan. There is no known historical significance to the wrecks, they were specifically placed for recreational diving purposes.
The marine life around the wrecks is typical for the region. Divers can expect to see various species of fish common to the Canary Islands, including colorful reef fish, and potentially some smaller crustaceans and invertebrates that may have colonized the wrecks themselves. The sandy bottom may not offer diverse marine plant life, though some algae or seagrass patches may be present.
The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months (spring and summer) when visibility is typically better, and water temperatures are more comfortable. For freedivers, the relatively shallow depth and calm conditions make this a suitable location for breath-hold dives, though it's important to be aware of your depth and air supply. Divers should also be aware of any boat traffic, as this site is accessible only by boat.
