Does Seahawk have current?

Yes. Current is a real factor at Seahawk, and it can run medium to strong enough to shape the dive plan.

How clear is Seahawk?

Visibility is usually medium rather than crystal clear, with community listings often placing it around 5-10 m.

Seahawk sits around the high-twenties of meters, so it belongs in the advanced wreck category rather than an easy shallow dive.

How do you usually reach Seahawk?

Plan Seahawk as a boat dive from Gibraltar's marina-based operators. The wreck is not a casual swim-out site.

Is Seahawk a wreck or a reef?

Seahawk is an intentionally sunk wreck that now acts as an artificial reef.

Is Seahawk suitable for beginner divers?

No. Seahawk is better left to advanced divers or those with wreck and deep-dive training.

What marine life is common at Seahawk?

Octopus, cuttlefish, conger and moray eels, spider crabs, lobster, and mixed fish life are the main draws.

When is Seahawk usually best?

Seahawk is diveable year-round, but spring through autumn is usually the easiest window for conditions.

About Seahawk

Seahawk is a boat-only Gibraltar wreck on a sandy bottom, with a deliberately sunk wooden hull, broken structure, current-influenced water, and classic artificial-reef life. It suits advanced scuba divers who want a compact wreck, good photo angles, and a straightforward Gibraltar profile rather than a deep technical itinerary, with a disciplined descent and ascent.
