Family Friendly
No Experience Required
You push off from the little harbor at Tabaiba as the Atlantic draws a cool line along the hull. Salt and diesel, a chorus of gulls and the muffled thud of kit being checked — then the boat slips over blue that quickly deepens. Below, the stricken silhouette of Pecio el Peñón waits: a tugboat laid intentionally on the seabed that now hosts encrusting life and narrow corridors to explore.

warning
Time your surface intervals
If doing two dives, leave enough surface time or plan for boat-to-shore return to avoid repeat deep dives too quickly.
