About El Vapor (Wreck)
El Vapor (Wreck) is a boat-accessed Tarragona wreck on a sandy bottom in a shallow recreational range. The wooden steamer gives the dive its character, with wreck structure to explore, a simple boat approach, and a steady draw for Mediterranean life such as grouper, octopus, nudibranchs, rays, and bream. It is a classic local wreck dive rather than a coral site.
