Pecio San Andrés (Wreck)
The San Andrés wreck, a steamship from the mid-19th century, offers a captivating dive experience for advanced divers. Located on the Mediterranean side of the island near the picturesque lighthouse in Spain, this dive site boasts remnants of history and abundant marine life.
Diving down to depths ranging from 22 to 35 meters, divers will encounter the well-preserved deck fragments and the two bushings on the blades that once powered the vessel. The wreck's multiple holes serve as thriving ecosystems, providing shelter for a variety of marine species, including groupers and conger eels.
One of the unique attractions of this dive site is the opportunity to witness sunfish de-worming at the cleaning station, surrounded by astroids - a sight that will leave divers in awe. With a maximum depth of 26 meters and a visibility of 13 meters, divers can explore the entirety of the wreck in one dive.
The San Andrés wreck not only offers the excitement of exploring underwater artifacts but also provides a window into the past. Located close to the Lighthouse Tarifa in the Campo de Gibraltar region of Andalusia, this dive site promises an unforgettable experience for divers seeking adventure and history in the beautiful waters of Spain.
