About Chaparro (Wreck)

Chaparro is a deteriorating wooden fishing wreck on a sandy bottom off Tarragona. Its broken structure gives shelter to seahorses, sunfish, octopus, groupers, and nudibranchs, making it a straightforward boat dive for beginners and photographers who want close-range life rather than a deep wreck or penetration target, and the boat handling stays simple.
