Do I need a local operator for Astillero?

Yes. A local boat operator is the practical way to dive Astillero and manage the anchored approach.

How clear is the water at Astillero?

Plan for ordinary visibility around 6m, so this is more of a workable local dive than a crystal-clear showcase.

Is Astillero a boat or shore dive?

Astillero is best dived by boat. The practical approach is an anchored drop onto the main wall rather than a shore entry.

What kind of profile does Astillero have?

Astillero has a shallow crest and a steeper wall, so it works as a relaxed top-section dive or a more terrain-rich wall traverse.

What should I watch for when planning Astillero?

Stay on the main wall and keep your depth in check, because the site drops away quickly if you drift off line.

About Astillero

Astillero is a boat-access wall dive on a rocky arm at the back of Mount Ulia.

Expect regular life such as bream, triggerfish, nudibranchs, octopus, cuttlefish, and crabs.
