NEW!! Exiting Wreck Dive on the Costa del Sol
New in the diving program from PRO DIVE Marbella is the wreck of the Menapier.
On the 11th November 1917 the cargo ship Menapier, loaded with iron ore whilst on passage from Villaricos to Gibraltar, sunk due to a collision with another ship. Today the wreck, lying between Fuengirola and Punta de Calaburra, is still in good condition. It is about 110 m in length and approx. 15 m in width and lies on a slightly sloping sandy bottom at around 40 m. The average diving depth is between 35 and 40 m. Interested in the dive ? Read more about it.
Due to its depth it is a rather demanding dive. Minimum certification level is Deep Diving Specialist. Of course it is also the perfect opportunity to do your Deep Diving and/ or Wreck Diving Specialty.
For more information see chapter: Dive times & Day excursions and Specialty courses. |
