El Galeon Lys

Fantastic easy wreck dive of a XVIII century ship, suppose to be an army ship in really bad conditions. French captain burned the ship named La Madeleine to avoid British army from Gibraltar to get it. The wreck is not registered. Still you can find buttons from the officer' uniforms. Please do not touch, is illegal. Amazing live. Good for underwater archaeology Local divers still keep this dive site as a secret. Be responsible and good dive! From the beach of San Pedro de Alcantara, between Guadalmina and puerto banus, easy parking and equip. NOTICE: Saturdays and Sundays about 2pm all the young couples are walking over there. The girls always use to give to divers a good look and the boyfriends will give you a dirty look. Nice for the self-steem...The site...straight from the shore about 150 mts. El Galeon Lys is also known as El Lys, La Madelaine.
