About Pecio San Andrés (Wreck)
Pecio San Andrés (Wreck) is a historic Tarifa wreck with the stern, paddle wheels, and broken structure still giving the dive a clear profile. The site is more about current-sensitive exploration through holes and colonized wreckage than about a complete hull, so it rewards good trim and timing. Plan on boat access, advanced-level comfort, and a dive that can feel very different from one window to the next.
