Overview
Description
This is an easy-to-dive archeological wreck since it is at a depth of 6m. Ideal for diving courses and baptisms. History tells that it is a French Galleon that was burned and sunk by the French themselves to avoid capture by the English who protected Gibraltar. This galleon equipped with cannons also carried buckles and buttons for the uniforms of the French soldiers and the days after the storm you can still find these bronze remains.
