About Pecio Maracaibo
Pecio Maracaibo is a heavily broken-up wooden fishing-boat wreck near Sanxenxo, with the wheelhouse and propeller still recognizable and a muddy seabed influenced by nearby mussel rafts. It is a close-range wreck dive where buoyancy matters more than route complexity, and the payoff is a lot of life around the wreck, including conger eels and crabs. The site feels more like careful wreck exploration than open-water scenery.
