The Urabain is a wreck site located 700 metres offshore at Punta Cuevas, offering a combination of wreck structure and surrounding reef. Divers can explore depths ranging from 9 to 26 metres, with an average depth of 18 metres. Visibility is variable, fluctuating between 3 and 15 metres. Due to the cold water temperatures of 11 to 18 degrees Celsius, a drysuit or a thick wetsuit with a hood is essential. The site is suitable for intermediate divers, though the depth and potential for entanglement within the wreck require careful buoyancy control. All dives must be conducted from a boat due to local currents.
