Best for technical divers, 44-64m, boat entry, strong current.
The SS Stanfield is a technical wreck dive located off Cabo de Palos, Spain. Resting at depths between 44 and 64 metres, the site requires trimix certification and advanced technical diving skills. The wreck is an overhead environment, presenting risks of entrapment and silt-out during penetration. Divers must manage strong currents and mandatory decompression stops throughout the dive. Visibility varies from 10 to 30 metres, allowing for structural views when conditions are favourable. Access is strictly by boat, and divers should carry redundant gas and decompression cylinders. Due to the depth and current patterns, booking a guided charter with local operators is recommended to ensure safe site management.

Book a guided charter rather than diving independently: local operators know the current patterns and can time the descent to give you the best working window on the wreck. Carry redundant gas and a fully rigged decompression cylinder, as the depth and currents leave no margin for equipment shortfalls.
