Jumelles is a wreck dive located at the Gorée Wrecks off Gorée Island, Senegal. The site extends from the surface to a maximum depth of 21 metres. Divers access the wreck by boat, encountering conditions that vary significantly, with visibility ranging from 5 to 30 metres and water temperatures between 18 and 28 degrees Celsius. The wreck presents an overhead environment with potential entanglement hazards, requiring good buoyancy control. While currents are generally mild, they can shift, and boat traffic is a factor in the area. A dive torch is recommended due to low light levels within the structure. This site is suitable for intermediate divers with wreck or overhead environment experience.
