Papatimones is a wall dive located in A Coruna, Spain, characterised by an underwater mountain formation. Access is by boat, with a 14-minute transit to the site. Divers typically anchor at a shoal at 12 metres before descending along the cape to reach depths of up to 39 metres. The site is suited for advanced divers due to variable currents, low visibility ranging from 3 to 9 metres, and cold water temperatures between 13C and 16C. Hazards include the depth, strong currents, and the risk of nitrogen narcosis. The site name originates from a nearby shoal that historically caused vessel collisions at low tide.
