Best for advanced divers, 20-40m, boat entry, moderate current.
Las Langostas is a deep wall dive in the Cantabric Sea, featuring a vertical drop that extends from 20 to 40 metres. Divers encounter moderate currents along the wall face, requiring precise buoyancy control and drift management. Due to the significant depth and potential for strong currents, this site is strictly for advanced divers. Access is exclusively by boat to avoid hazardous surf conditions near the shore. Water temperatures fluctuate between 12 and 18 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Divers should plan bottom times conservatively and carry a surface marker buoy to account for the current, which may push divers away from the wall during ascent.

Entry is by boat only, so confirm pick-up protocols with your operator before descent as the shore break makes water-level recovery hazardous. Plan your bottom time conservatively given the 40-metre maximum depth and bring a surface marker buoy in case current pushes you off the wall at the end of the dive.
