About Arroyo
Arroyo is a classic Mediterranean wreck dive off La Seyne-sur-Mer. The tanker lies broken into three parts across a rock bar and sandy bottom, with the stern and midsection spread over the wreck and the bow separated across the rocks. Divers come for gorgonians, groupers, conger eels, moray eels, octopus, and other wreck life.

Safety Notes
Treat Arroyo as an experienced-diver wreck. Keep a tight buoyancy check on the split sections and be ready to shorten the dive if current or sea state builds.
Access Restrictions
Boat access is the practical route, and the site suits experienced divers more than beginners. External exploration is the normal pattern.
Legal Notes
The wreck sits in a protected coastal area; follow local site rules and avoid touching the wreck or its marine growth.
