About this site
Barco del Arroz lies along the Mediterranean coast near Málaga, in southern Spain's Andalusia region. The name, meaning roughly "the rice boat," points to a sunken vessel resting in the waters off this stretch of coastline. The wreck sits in shallow water, with a maximum depth of around 6 metres, yet the dive is rated advanced.
